After Action Report
The Hawks upended the Cavaliers 117-111. Hawks torched the Cavaliers on the offensive end. Second-chance points piled up for the Cavaliers; the Cavaliers came in with something to prove after a loss. Cavaliers' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Add it to the list of nights the favorite forgot to show up.
What tipped it
- Cavaliers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Cavaliers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Hawks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
