After Action Report
The Hawks demolished the Cavaliers 108-87. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Hawks' defenders refused to give up clean looks; the Cavaliers came in with something to prove after a loss. The Hawks bench chemistry carried them. Hawks' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Never a doubt in this one.
