After Action Report
In a track meet, the Hawks ran roughshod over the Cavaliers 120-99. The breakneck pace played right into Hawks' hands. Hawks' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Hawks carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one. The Hawks bench chemistry carried them. Garbage time started early.
