After Action Report
The Cavaliers snuck past the Hawks 106-102. Cavaliers' offense had its way with the Hawks. The Cavaliers came in with something to prove after a loss; the Cavaliers bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Hawks looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Cavaliers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Cavaliers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Hawks · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Hawks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
