After Action Report
The Cavaliers pulled away from the Hawks 113-96. Cavaliers' scorers couldn't be contained. The Cavaliers answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; the Cavaliers bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Cavaliers bench chemistry carried them. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
