After Action Report
In Cleveland, the Cavaliers fended off the Hawks 110-103. Every possession went the Cavaliers way. The Cavaliers answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Hawks' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Hawks looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. The Hawks rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Survive-and-advance type win.
What tipped it
- Cavaliers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- 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.
