The Cavaliers finally got an easy playoff win Wednesday.

They beat the Hawks 123-98 in Game 2 of their second-round playoff series, their sixth straight win to open the postseason. It was by far the team's most dominating performance yet, as Cleveland set an NBA record for 3-pointers in a game with 25 in the blowout.
