After Action Report
In Atlanta, the Cavaliers outlasted the Hawks 99-91. The Hawks couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Cavaliers. Hawks' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Hawks' skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends. Whispers of a Hawks locker-room rift aren't helping. The Hawks rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Hawks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Hawks · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Hawks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
