Hawks vs Cavaliers Game 3 final score: Atlanta suffers gut-wrenching 114-111 loss

It wasn't enough.

The Hawks and Cavaliers needed overtime to decide Game 3, but in the end, it was a superhuman effort from LeBron James and faulty execution from Atlanta in the final moments that allowed the Cavaliers to take a 3-0 lead in the Eastern Conference Finals by a final score of 114-111.

With their backs against the wall, the Hawks came out of the gate flying. Atlanta raced to 10 straight points to claim an early 12-4 lead, and on the defensive end, the team was flying around while holding the Cavs to just 1 for 10 shooting in the early going.
