The Cavaliers came together when it counted most to earn a 104-93 win over the Atlanta Hawks on Monday night.
CLEVELAND, OHIO— There were no excuses nor finger points in the huddle.
Cleveland had just called a timeout, as Atlanta erased an 18-point Cavaliers’ lead and took a one-point lead of their own with just 4:28 left to play.
Rather than to focus on the past, Lue and the Cavaliers put together a play.
Sure enough, J.R. Smith hit a three-point shot that gave Cleveland a 90-88 lead and from that point forward the Cavaliers went on a 14-5 run to finish the game with a 104-93 win.
