After Action Report

The Hawks demolished the Cavaliers 119-91. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Hawks cashed in. The Hawks came in with something to prove after a loss; the Cavaliers are in a full-on tailspin. Whispers of a Cavaliers locker-room rift aren't helping. Never a doubt in this one.

What tipped it

  • Cavaliers · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • Cavaliers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • Hawks · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
