In Atlanta, the Hawks squeaked past the Cavaliers 96-95. The Cavaliers couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Hawks. Hawks' defenders refused to give up clean looks; Cavaliers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Hawks locker room is humming, and it showed.
