#4 ATLANTA HAWKS 98 @ #1 CLEVELAND CAVALIERS 123
EAST Semifinals – Game 2 – CAVALIERS lead series, 2-0
Yeah. So the Cavaliers made 18 three-pointers IN THE FIRST HALF. They led the Hawks by 36 after 24 minutes. Sometimes, that’s just the way it goes (yeah, the Hawks’ D was porous in the first half but the Cavs made some tough shots, too).
This is all I remember seeing in the game.
The Cavs made 25 three-pointers overall (they broke the playoff record of 21 threes by the third quarter and broke the overall record of 23 threes). There’s not much to say so here is a picture of corgis. I mean, who DOESN’T like corgis?
But don’t cancel the series just yet. Remember that the Chicago Bulls beat the Utah Jazz, 96-54, in Game 3 of the 1998 NBA Finals. The series still went six games.
SO NEVER GIVE UP, HAWKS.
I swear him raising three fingers on each hand was coincidence.
