CLEVELAND—Bombs away!

Quicken Loans Arena was the site of an air raid on Wednesday Night.

No one was hurt--except the Atlanta Hawks.

The Cavaliers came out of the locker room for Game Two of their best-of-seven series with the Hawks leading the NBA in the postseason averaging 14.4 triples a game.

By halftime, the Cavs had shattered an NBA record with 18 of the long balls to take a 74-38 lead at the half on their way to a 123-98 win in front of a sold out crowd of 20,562 fans.
