After Action Report
In Cleveland, the Cavaliers survived the Hawks 131-130 in overtime. The Hawks had no answer for the variance gods tonight. The Cavaliers couldn't shake the cold spell; Hawks' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim.
What tipped it
- Cavaliers · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- 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.
