Atlanta Hawks vs Cleveland Cavaliers Final Score & Over/Under Result — Nov 2, 2025

The market total of 225.5 fell just short as Cleveland's fourth quarter erupted for 72 combined points—the game's highest-scoring period—pushing the final combined score to 226 and sending the game to a narrow over result. Cleveland's 31-point first quarter against Atlanta's 22 set an early tone for a slow start, with Q1's combined 53 points well below the overall pace. The second half told a different story entirely. After the teams combined for 102 points through two quarters, they matched that nearly in the fourth alone, with a 72-point fourth quarter that broke the market's back. The Cavaliers pulled away with 39 fourth-quarter points to edge Atlanta's 33, closing out a 117-109 victory.

Donovan Mitchell led Cleveland's charge with 37 points and 5 assists, while De'Andre Hunter contributed 19 points and 7 rebounds off the bench. For Atlanta, Jalen Johnson delivered a well-rounded 23 points, 13 rebounds, and 5 assists, but it wasn't enough to keep pace as Dyson Daniels (18 pts, 4 reb, 3 ast) and Nickeil Alexander-Walker (16 pts, 3 reb, 5 ast) couldn't generate consistent firepower. Cleveland's third-quarter defense held Atlanta to just 24 combined points in that frame, a crucial stretch that limited the Hawks before the closing fireworks. The 226-point finish was a rare miss for the 225.5 projection—a one-point buffer that snapped in favor of the over.
