Atlanta is back in the top 10 in the East after the victory.

Atlanta Hawks won against Cleveland Cavaliers 112-101 in Georgia, as that was the team’s 2nd straight victory in the league after beating the NY Knicks 116-110 yesterday.

Cavs shocked Celtics and beat them 105-104 yesterday to end Boston’s 11-match unbeaten run in the NBA, but 24 hours later, they failed to triumph again.

Saddiq Bey and Bogdan Bogdanovic each scored 23 points for Atlanta, as Dejounte Murray notched 18 points and De’Andre Hunter added 17 for Hawks’ 2nd consecutive win in the league as before that, the team lost twice from Brooklyn Nets.

Jarrett Allen was the highest-scoring player for Cleveland with only 18 points, but he finished with 19 rebounds and 3 assists. Isaac Okoro added 17 points as the hero for the victory against the Celtics yesterday – Dean Wade – finished with only 9 points and 4 assists for over 30 minutes on the court.

That was the Cavaliers’ 3rd defeat in the last 5 matches in the NBA; as Knicks and Bulls beat them during that period, the other victory besides Boston came against the Pistons.

Atlanta will play against the Grizzlies in Memphis on Friday, while Cleveland will host the Timberwolves on the same day.
