After Action Report

The Cavaliers survived the Hawks 117-115. The tempo dragged the Hawks into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Cavaliers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; you could feel the revenge motivation from the Cavaliers.

What tipped it

  • Hawks · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Hawks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Cavaliers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Cavaliers · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
