After Action Report
In Cleveland, the Hawks squeaked past the Cavaliers 115-111. Hawks controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. The Hawks looked unstoppable — pure Buzzsaw mode; the Cavaliers ride keeps rolling — they're catching fire. The Hawks bench chemistry carried them. The Hawks rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
