After Action Report
In Cleveland, the Cavaliers handled the Hawks 90-79. The Hawks couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Cavaliers. The Cavaliers bent the defense out of shape from deep; second-chance points piled up for the Hawks. The Cavaliers locker room is humming, and it showed. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
