The Cavs and Hawks were in a lock at intermission at 51-51 as both teams were filling each other out. Cleveland though got it going in the late 3rd and early 4th behind J.R. Swish. He goes for 28 points including 8 for 12 from deep and five of those money balls were in the late 3rd and into the start of the 4th.
"Get Shots" J.R. Smith going "Cloudy with a 66/6% Chance of Money Balls" at Philips...
Cleveland leading 74-67 after three went up 85-67 after they started the 4th frame on a 11-0 run highlighted by three J.R. money balls. Atlanta came right back with a 7-0 run of their own as Kyle Korver hit his first triple of the night making it 87-74 Cavs.
Atlanta was within four points 91-87 after a Ken Bazemore lay-up but King James gets a dunk and two free throws icing the game and the Cavs go up 1-0 in the series. James along with J.R. Smith's 28 gets 31 points and eight boards. Both Tristan Thompson and Timofey Mozgov combined for 24 points and twenty-one boards as the Hawks playing small in the paint will have a huge issue dealing with both of them throughout the series.
The Highlight Factory 404 gets 27 points from Jeff Teague as hen did what he was suppose to do. The other Hawks starters must step up bigger as Korver had just 9 points and Demarre Carroll 6 points as he is covering King James which might take a lot from his offensive production. Hawks shoot just 4 for 23 from deep and if they hit just 8 for 23 they win game 1.
Game 2 Friday night May 22nd at Philips with Atlanta in desperate need of a game 2 "W"...
