The Atlanta Hawks notched an impressive victory over the Cleveland Cavaliers on Tuesday night at State Farm Arena, 124-116.
Trae Young led the Hawks with 41 points and nine assists while Danilo Gallinari recorded a season-high 25 points. For the Cavaliers, Darius Garland scored 30 points, while rookie Evan Mobley added 22 points and 10 rebounds.
Still without John Collins, the Hawks entered Tuesday’s contest against one of the better teams in the Eastern Conference in an interesting spot. The Hawks need as many wins as they can get their hands on but the Cavaliers — as they showed very early in the season, before the NBA knew they were set to be one of the NBA’s most improved teams — would prove a challenge.
