After Action Report
In a track meet, the Cavaliers ran roughshod over the Hawks 143-104. Cavaliers' scorers couldn't be contained. Cavaliers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Hawks are in a full-on tailspin. The Cavaliers locker room is humming, and it showed. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Cavaliers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Cavaliers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Hawks · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Hawks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
