After Action Report
The Hawks survived the Cavaliers 106-105. The Hawks won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. The Hawks came in with something to prove after a loss; Hawks' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Hawks bench chemistry carried them. The Hawks rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
