CLEVELAND — The Hawks have a history with Matthew Dellavedova – and it’s not good.
The Eastern Conference second-round postseason matchup means the Hawks will see a lot of the Cavaliers’ reserve guard over the next week or two.
NBA playoff series have a way of getting chippy when two teams play several times in a short period with so much at stake. Look at the Hawks’ first round series against the Celtics where Isaiah Thomas hit Dennis Schroder, seven on-court technical fouls were called, five flagrant fouls were awarded and, reportedly, a post-series challenge to ‘meet you in the back’ was issued.
