Quarter-Finals Round 2: Atlanta H. - Cleveland C. 85-105
Date: May 7, 2009
LeBron James scored 27 points, ending the first and second quarters with last-second baskets, and Maurice Williams added 15 points Thursday night as the host Cleveland Cavaliers overpowered the Atlanta Hawks, 105-85, to open a 2-0 lead in their Eastern Conference semifinal series. Now 6-0 in the postseason, the Cavaliers tied a league record by winning their sixth consecutive playoff game by double digits. The only other team to do it was the 2004 Indiana Pacers. Maurice Evans scored 16 points for the Hawks, who were missing center Al Horford and forward Marvin Williams because of injuries. Their leading scorer, Joe Johnson, rolled his right ankle in the third quarter and did not return. The Hawks said he was doubtful for Game 3 on Saturday in Atlanta. James and the Cavaliers starters spent the entire fourth quarter lounging on the bench as Atlanta’s reserves outplayed the Cavs backups in 12 minutes of garbage time to make the score respectable. The best-of-seven series switches to Atlanta’s Philips Arena, where the Hawks went 31-10 during the regular season and beat Cleveland once, on Dec. 13.
