After Action Report
In a track meet, the Hawks ran roughshod over the Cavaliers 119-98. The tempo dragged the Cavaliers into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Hawks' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Hawks owned the glass, generating extra possessions. Hawks' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Hawks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Hawks · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Hawks · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
