The Cavaliers rolled past the Hawks 132-99. Cavaliers' scorers couldn't be contained. Cavaliers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Cavaliers owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Cavaliers rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Never a doubt in this one.
