After Action Report
In Atlanta, the Cavaliers buried the Hawks 126-106. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Cavaliers cashed in. You could feel the revenge motivation from the Cavaliers; Hawks' skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends. Whispers of a Hawks locker-room rift aren't helping. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
What tipped it
- Hawks · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Hawks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Cavaliers · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
