After Action Report
In Atlanta, the Cavaliers survived the Hawks 107-102. Execution down the stretch made the difference. The Cavaliers played with the chip of a recent gutting loss; Hawks' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim.
What tipped it
- Hawks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Hawks · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Hawks · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Cavaliers · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
