After Action Report
The Hawks squeaked past the Cavaliers 112-107. Hawks torched the Cavaliers on the offensive end. The Hawks bent the defense out of shape from deep; Cavaliers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The Hawks bench chemistry carried them. The Hawks rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Cavaliers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Cavaliers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Hawks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
