After Action Report
The Hawks survived the Cavaliers 93-89. The Hawks won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Hawks' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense; Cavaliers' outside barrage was a constant threat. The Hawks bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Hawks per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Hawks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
