After Action Report
In a track meet, the Hawks blew the doors off the Cavaliers 123-103. The breakneck pace played right into Hawks' hands. Hawks' defenders refused to give up clean looks; Cavaliers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Cavaliers looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. The Cavaliers rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. It broke open after the break.
What tipped it
- Cavaliers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Cavaliers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
