Cavs Crush Hawks for Campaign's First Win

Wrap-Up -- As they had in their first meeting with Atlanta, the Wine & Gold ran out to a double-digit first quarter lead. Unlike that meeting, however, the Cavaliers never gave it back – pulling away in the second half for their first win of the season, a 136-114 decision on Tuesday night at The Q.

Two days after taking the reins from Tyronn Lue, who was released from head coaching duties following Saturday’s loss to Indy – acting head coach Larry Drew earned his first victory of the year and the Cavaliers finally got off the schneid after six straight losses.
