Do the Hawks pose the biggest defensive threat to the Cavs in a seven-game series? with the AJC's Lauren Williams

In this episode of the Wine and Gold Talk podcast, host Ethan Sands is joined by Lauren Williams of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution to examine the evolving Atlanta Hawks through a Cleveland Cavaliers lens.

Sands and Williams explore how Atlanta’s new-look roster compares with Cleveland’s established core of Donovan Mitchell and Evan Mobley, what a potential seven-game playoff series between the Hawks and Cavaliers could look like, and which team has the better formula to succeed in the postseason.
