After Action Report
The Cavaliers buried the Hawks 139-116. The breakneck pace played right into Cavaliers' hands. Cavaliers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Cavaliers came in with something to prove after a loss. The Cavaliers bench chemistry carried them. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Hawks · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Hawks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Cavaliers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Cavaliers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Cavaliers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
