The Cavaliers blew out the Hawks 123-98 on Wednesday to take a 2-0 lead in their second-round NBA playoff series, and by the late third quarter, when Cleveland was up by about 40, Atlanta forward Kent Bazemore could not have been less interested.

He was, in fact, asleep.

Bazemore went 1 for 7 from the floor, including 0 for 3 from 3-point range. He tallied five points, one rebound and one assist.
