Cleveland beat Atlanta 109-97 on Saturday in a rematch of last season's NBA Eastern Conference finals, and Hawks coach Mike Budenholzer was ejected for making contact with an official. The Cavaliers took control midway through the first quarter and quickly built a double-digit lead en route to a victory that built their lead in the Central Division while dropping the Hawks out of top spot in the Southeast. Among other games, San Antonio continued its strong home form by beating Memphis and New York ended its long run of losses to Houston by beating the slumping Rockets.
