Cavs Sweep

Last night the Caveliers took out the Atlanta Hawks 84-74 sweeping them in four games. The Cavs are now 8-0 this year in the post season. Cleveland dominate this game like they had the rest of the series with the Hawks. A large part of the win last night was the poor shooting of Atlanta who were 2-13 from behind the arc and 23-73 shooting overall. The Cavs also dominated the boards grabbing 48 rebounds, 15 being offensive rebounds, while the Hawks only had 33 rebounds. The rebounding for the Cavs was led by Anderson Varejoa with 11 and Ilgauskas who had 10 rebounds. On the otherside of the ball, the Cavs were led in scoring by LeBron James with 27 points and 8 assists. LeBron also got help from his two guards Delonte West who had 21 points and Mo Williams who scored 14. For the Hawks, Josh Smith led the team in scoring with 26 points followed by Joe Johnson who had 18 points. Having swept the first two series the Cavaliers have an even better chance to make a run and win the playoffs with a lot of rest. However the last time a team started out the playoffs 8-0 since they were changed to best of seven game series, the 2003 Miami Heat, they lost in the Eastern Conference Finals.
