After Action Report
The Cavaliers handled the Hawks 108-96. Cavaliers' offense had its way with the Hawks. Cavaliers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Cavaliers' outside barrage was a constant threat. Whispers of a Hawks locker-room rift aren't helping. Tonight's Hawks utilization choices clashed with the team identity.
What tipped it
- Hawks · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Hawks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Cavaliers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
