Donovan Mitchell, Cavaliers Keep Hawks From Clinching Playoff Bid

On Wednesday, the Cleveland Cavaliers defeated the Atlanta Hawks 122-116, with Donovan Mitchell scoring 31 points and Evan Mobley adding 22 points and 19 rebounds to secure no lower than fourth in the Eastern Conference.
With the loss, the Hawks dropped to 45-35 and failed to clinch a playoff berth, though they remain one win clear of Toronto for the fifth seed and face playoff uncertainty.
Cleveland outscored Atlanta 44-20 in the third quarter to build a 104-87 lead, while James Harden added 21 points for the Cavaliers, who extended their winning streak to four straight.
Dyson Daniels fouled out during the final minutes after a review, while Nickeil Alexander-Walker scored 25 points and Jonathan Kuminga added 24 points off the bench for Atlanta.
The two teams meet again on Friday in Atlanta for the fourth and final time during the regular season, with playoff implications still unresolved for the Hawks.
