 The Atlanta Hawks were within striking distance of stealing game 1 as they just turned it over and made bad decisions. Cleveland had a balanced attack as LeBron James led with a team-high 25 points and nine assists as he waited on seven Cavs Tables just missing a triple-double.

The Hawks down 30-19 after one outscored the Cavs 51-44 through the 2nd and 3rd to make it a game  as they were down just 4 points 74-70 heading into the 4th. Atlanta's Dennis Schroder was one of the few Hawks who came to play as he had a game-high 27 points off the bench. Hawks Starters were outscored by Cleveland Starters  83-54 and if that is the common theme in this series the Cavs will
sweep.



Atlanta's starting back court of Kyle Korver and Jeff Teague (both All-Stars in the 2014-15 season) combined for 11 points on just 2 for 10 shooting and that must get better. LBJ had plenty of help as Kyrie Irving added 21 points and the "Lake Oswego Monster" dba Kevin Love chipped in with 17 points grabbing eleven boards.    

Cleveland pulls away late from the free throw line and getting "Stops" on the Highlight Factory 404...Game #2 is May 4th at 8pm ET back at the "Q"!
