After Action Report
The Hawks survived the Cavaliers 110-109. Every possession went the Hawks way. The Hawks carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; Hawks' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Hawks bench chemistry carried them. Cavaliers' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.
