Game 4: Hawks at Cavs

ATLANTA HAWKS (4-0) 100, CAVS (1-3) 88
at Quicken Loans Arena
RADIO/TV: WTAM/Fox Sports Ohio

WHAT HAPPENED: Guard Mo Williams was pretty good in his season debut. He had 12 points and two assists in 25 minutes. He made 4 of 12 shots, 2 of 6 from the arc.

He made a few bad decisions and took a few questionable shots. But he played hard, aggressive and with energy.

It seemed like Ramon Sessions, who started the first three games, went into a shell on Tuesday. He had seven points and three assists.

Coach Byron Scott said Williams will start against Philadelphia on Friday. Maybe he'll provide the spark to end this three-game losing streak.

J.J. Hickson had a career-high 31 points against the Hawks, but he played fewer minutes than both Anderson Varejao and Jamario Moon. When a player is scoring like he was - he made 11 of 17 shots - one wants to milk every point he has. This team doesn't have enough scoring as it is.

Guard Daniel Gibson had an off night shooting, just 3 of 10. He did pull down a career-high seven rebounds.

There weren't enough playmakers against the Hawks. The Cavs managed just 15 assists, as Varejao and Sessions each had three assists.

Rudy Gay to the Cavaliers? Kevin Love to the Kings?
