He was another Cavalier that was taken out before the 3rd quarter due to the chippy play that was going on with the big lead. Kevin Love posted a double-double in 3 quarters of play with 11 points and 13 rebounds.
The Cavaliers as a whole was absolutely en fuego in the first 3 quarters of this ball game.
The Cavs look to go up 3-0 in this game to look for the series sweep on Sunday.
Atlanta Hawks
The Atlanta Hawks got absolutely got ran out of the gym on Wednesday.
They were not able to defend the 3 point shot against the Cavaliers. It seemed like every ball the Cavs shot was going in the bucket.
The Hawks were not efficient offensively either. They scored a lot of their points late in the 4th quarter late when the Cavaliers were looking to break the record. That 4th quarter made this game look a lot more respectable, but this game was never close.
The one bright side for the Hawks was Paul Milsap’s double-double with 16 points and 11 rebounds. Jeff Teague also posted a 14 point, 6 assist game.
Besides that, the Atlanta Hawks were not on at all. The production from Bazemore and Horford was not there at all. In order for this Hawks team to be competitive, they need more production out of everyone, not just Milsap.
The Hawks look to take the first game at home in the series.
