After Action Report
In Cleveland, the Hawks survived the Cavaliers 120-116 in overtime. The tempo dragged the Cavaliers into a rhythm they couldn't survive. The Hawks pushed the pace until the other side broke; Cavaliers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The Hawks bench chemistry carried them. Cavaliers' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.
What tipped it
- Cavaliers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Hawks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
