After Action Report
In Cleveland, the Cavaliers demolished the Hawks 161-95. The Hawks had no answer for the variance gods tonight. The Hawks answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Hawks' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. The Cavaliers locker room is humming, and it showed. The Hawks rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Never a doubt in this one.
