Recap: Atlanta 133, Cleveland 111 (or, Stink-tion Level Event)

Right now, the Cavs are arguably the worst team in the NBA. The Atlanta Hawks were ranked 29th in the NBA by ESPN’s preseason power poll, and despite missing a starter and two rotation players, the Cavs just gave them their first win. While the 30th ranked Kings won, the Cavaliers lost resoundingly to a team they were favored to beat by eight. To make matter worse, the Cavs rolled in the first quarter, going on a 20-2 run and sporting a 15 point lead at one point. Cleveland was outscored by 37 after that, and started the party by giving up 40 to Atlanta in the second quarter.
