After Action Report
The Cavaliers ran roughshod over the Hawks 116-86. The Hawks had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Cavaliers' shot-blockers turned the paint into a no-fly zone; the Cavaliers answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Cavaliers locker room is humming, and it showed. The Hawks rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Garbage time started early.
