Cleveland Cavaliers head coach Kenny Atkinson has his finger on the finger of the team.

The Eastern Conference leader Cavaliers travel to Utah on a four-game losing streak for Monday's game. They were beaten hard by the Suns on Saturday night.

Atkinson told Cleveland.com's Chris Fedor that he plans to give the team a hard workout before flying from Phoenix to Utah.

After internal discussions, Atkinson made a 180-degree turn.

On Sunday, the Cavaliers played a "shooting game" in practice. They ended their losing streak with a 91-0 win over the Jazz on Monday.

There's been a lot of debate about how big a head coach's role is in the NBA, but it's decisions like those made by Atkinson and his leadership team that could have a huge impact late in the long regular season.

The Cavaliers' road trip continues, and they travel to Portland on Wednesday to play. Maybe they'll play a game of "PIG" before heading out.
