Atlanta Hawks - Cleveland Cavaliers: betting tip (kef 3.40) and bets on the NBA match

Current form 

The Hawks traveled to Cleveland on April 9, and it wasn't just a trip, but a real test of character. The match against the Cavaliers turned out to be one of those where the numbers on the scoreboard are just the tip of the iceberg. The result is 116:122, but this score hides a whole story with fractures, emotions and a lost rhythm. The first quarter was a tight battle: The hosts neatly seized the initiative — 33:29. But in the second, the hawks seemed to remember that they could fly. The attack started playing, the ball went faster, and as a result — 38:27. The guests left for the big break with a pleasant start — 67:60.

And then there was a sensation. But basketball is not only a game of jerks, but also failures. The third quarter was a real cold shower for Atlanta. Only 20 points, despite the fact that the opponent scored 44. The difference grew instantly, and the match, in fact, turned upside down. In the final quarter, the Hawks tried to come back. 29:18 is a decent response, an attempt to organize a chase. But time has already slipped through my fingers. Nikeil Alexander-Walker was the most productive for Atlanta with 25 points and a confident offensive game. Overall, the team is staying afloat: 45 wins with 35 losses is a confident position in the Eastern Conference and almost a ticket to the playoffs. 

Current form 

The Cavaliers showed in this match what they are valued for — the ability to turn on exactly when it is necessary. They started carefully, took the first quarter, but without excessive pressure. In the second, we allowed the opponent to feel the game, slightly released the reins. And then the third quarter happened. The one after which they usually say: everything has become clear. Cleveland turned on maximum momentum and literally crushed the opponent. The difference grew with each attack, the defense worked tenaciously, and the offense was diverse and cold—blooded.

In the fourth quarter, the hosts had already scored. Yes, we conceded, but it was more a story about control than weakness. The victory was already in his pocket. The main characters were Donovan Mitchell with 31 points, the leader on the floor, and Evan Mobley, who scored a powerful double-double with 22 points and 19 rebounds. James Harden also contributed with 21 points and experience, which is felt in every possession. The Cavaliers are fourth in the East with 51 wins and 29 losses. The playoffs have already been secured.
