After Action Report
In Cleveland, the Cavaliers pulled away from the Hawks 113-99. The better team simply showed up tonight. Cavaliers' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes; Hawks' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Cavaliers locker room is humming, and it showed. Hawks' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.
What tipped it
- Cavaliers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Hawks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Hawks · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Hawks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
