After Action Report
The Cavaliers fended off the Hawks 90-82. Cavaliers torched the Hawks on the offensive end. The Cavaliers couldn't shake the cold spell; Hawks' defenders refused to give up clean looks. Cavaliers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Cavaliers · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Hawks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
