PREVIEW: Cavaliers take on struggling Hawks in Sunday afternoon showdown

2. Pick and roll defense

This was one huge bright spot in the Cavalier defense on Friday, especially with LeBron James directing traffic in the back of their defense.

When it comes to the Hawks, they are third in the league in shots attempted by the ball handler in the pick and roll. If the Cavs are going to switch, they need to communicate and not give up mid-play in their rotations. The good news is, the Hawks are 24th in the league when it comes to the ball handler actually making those shots.
