After Action Report
The Hawks took care of the Cavaliers 101-89. The Hawks won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. The Hawks played with the chip of a recent gutting loss; Hawks' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Cavaliers rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Style points be damned.
