James Harden Requests Cavs Hotel Walk Throughs

James Harden asked the Cavaliers to hold walk-throughs in hotel ballrooms before road games when there isn’t a shootaround, according to The Athletic’s Joe Vardon. Harden said it helps the group stay ready physically and mentally, especially by studying opponents and their tendencies. Cleveland is 18-6 with Harden on the floor since he arrived from the Clippers. Kenny Atkinson said Harden has “completely adapted” to the Cavs’ passing and cutting style. The Cavs are 50-29 and go for a fourth straight win Wednesday against the Hawks, who are 45-34.
