After Action Report
In Atlanta, the Hawks squeaked past the Cavaliers 111-109. The better team simply showed up tonight. The Hawks played with the chip of a recent gutting loss; the Hawks bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Hawks locker room is humming, and it showed. Hawks' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
