Hartford's issues with defending the post were still evident in this game, as the Cavs got 66 combined pts from their C, PF, and SF. However, the Hawks backcourt is dominant once again, particularly Wallace Nelson, who goes off for 40 pts , 8 assists, and 6 rebounds to lead them to another high scoring victory and a trip to the Final Four!
