After Action Report
In Cleveland, the Hawks handled the Cavaliers 94-76. The Hawks won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Hawks' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; second-chance points piled up for the Hawks. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Cavaliers · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- 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 · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
