Wrap-Up — The Cavaliers have been deadly from beyond the arc all season, but the Wine and Gold took it to an entirely new level on Wednesday night.
Ten Cavalier players – (and the team’s mascot) – were deadly from deep as the Cavaliers set an NBA record for three-pointers in a game, drilling 25 triples as Cleveland demolished the Hawks, 123-98, to take a 2-0 series lead before a pulsating crowd at The Q.
J.R. Smith set the tone almost immediately – canning four three-pointers in the first quarter as Cleveland hit seven straight bombs to take a 15-point lead after one period. After that, franchise records seemed to fall with each ensuing triple.
By the end of two quarters, the Wine and Gold had set the mark for three-pointers (18) and points (74) in a half, with Swish setting the individual franchise mark with six before intermission.
In the process, the Cavs ran out to a 74-38 halftime edge and kept their foot on the accelerator through the third quarter – not allowing Atlanta to shave a single point off their deficit. By the end of the period, Cleveland had hit more three-pointers (22) than the Hawks had field goals (20).
