After Action Report
In Cleveland, the Hawks fended off the Cavaliers 107-101. Hawks' scorers couldn't be contained. The Hawks owned the glass, generating extra possessions; Hawks' outside barrage was a constant threat. The Cavaliers rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
What tipped it
- Cavaliers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Hawks · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
