Despite a modest performance by Geneva center Clint Capela and a false start to the game, the Hawks won 135:124 at league leaders Cleveland. The game had barely started when the visitors from Atlanta trailed 0:10. The deficit grew to 19 points at times in the first quarter. In the end, the Hawks fought their way back and made the difference in the final period.
It was only the Cavaliers' second defeat in their 19th game of the season and their first in front of a home crowd. The Hawks broke a three-game losing streak with the surprising win. Capela contributed just 2 points and 9 assists. He has only had a worse record twice this season.
The Washington Wizards are still in a slump. In their 96:121 defeat - their 13th in a row - the franchise from the capital once again had no chance. Kyshawn George from Valais played 26 minutes, but only recorded 2 points and 4 assists.
