Recap: Cavs 135, Hawks 130 (or, Cruise Control)

The last time something like this happened, Kyle Korver was on the receiving end… this time, he got to be the one to memorialize the historical barrage. The Cavs revisited the cruise missile like aerial attack they perpetrated on the Atlanta Hawks and their suspect perimeter defense just about 10 months ago in Game 2 of their second round playoff sweep. Back then, they set an NBA playoff record with 25 made three-pointers, en route to a 123-98 victory, that prompted Ernie Johnson’s infamous halftime quote…“Game 3 in this series, if necessary, is Friday in Atlanta.” But, the Cavs weren’t apparently satisfied with holding just the post-season record, so they matched it last night in Phillips Arena with another 25 long bombs to capture the regular season high mark for a game as well.
