ATLANTA -- The stage was set for Cleveland Cavaliers rookie Collin Sexton.
He was playing in Atlanta for the first time, about 20 miles from where he grew up in nearby Marietta, Georgia. Sexton reserved 10 tickets for friends and family, including his grandparents who had a pair of seats about 10 rows up from the Cavaliers bench.
If that wasn't enough, it was Sexton's final showdown of the season against fellow rookie classmate Trae Young.
But Young, Vince Carter and the balanced Hawks spoiled Sexton's homecoming, beating the Cavs 111-108 in a hard-fought game between two rebuilding teams.
