If there's a blueprint for beating the Cavs, the Hawks might just have it. Cleveland fell to their second and third defeats of the season last week, and while they bounced back in style by avenging their loss to the Celtics, it was a mini-sequence of results that offers hope to the rest of the conference.

If the Cavs have one glaring weakness it's their propensity to concede corner 3-pointers, and they allowed far too many of them across those two defeats. The Hornets' task has, however, been made that much harder by LaMelo Ball's injury.

There's also the small matter of Donovan Mitchell, who's made the Cavaliers the clutch team in the NBA this season. Here's how to watch Cavaliers vs Hornets live streams online and from anywhere in the world.

FREE Cavaliers vs Hornets live streams

If you're fortunate enough to live in Belgium or Sweden, you can enjoy free Cavaliers vs Hornets coverage. That's because the game is being shown on free-to-air RTBF and TV4 Play, respectively.

But what if you're based in either of those countries but aren't at home to catch that free Cavaliers vs Hornets stream? Maybe you're on holiday and don't want to spend money on pay TV in another country, when you'd usually be able to watch the game for free at home?

Don't worry — you can watch it using a VPN instead. We'll show you how to do that below.

How to watch Cavaliers vs Hornets from anywhere

Away from home at the moment and blocked from watching the game on your usual subscription? You can still tune in via a virtual private network, or VPN.
