After Action Report
In Cleveland, the Hawks edged the Cavaliers 115-108 in overtime. The Cavaliers had no answer for the variance gods tonight. The Hawks carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; the Hawks bent the defense out of shape from deep. Whispers of a Cavaliers locker-room rift aren't helping.

- Cavaliers · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
- Cavaliers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Hawks · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
