After Action Report
In Cleveland, the Cavaliers upended the Hawks 127-124. The breakneck pace played right into Cavaliers' hands. Cavaliers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Cavaliers pushed the pace until the other side broke. Cavaliers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. An upset for the books.
What tipped it
- Cavaliers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Hawks · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Hawks · Superstar Stack Two or more 90-overall stars bend games to their will on both ends.
- Hawks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
