What happened: LeBron James scored 30 points and had 11 assists and nine rebounds as the Cleveland Cavaliers beat the Atlanta Hawks 94-82 and took a commanding 2-0 series lead. The Cavaliers won the first two games on the road, and with the Hawks banged up, the Cavaliers can sweep the 60-win Hawks with victories in Games 3 and 4 in Cleveland on Sunday and Tuesday.
What worked for the Cavs: LeBron James was the answer at point guard with Kyrie Irving sitting out (strained right foot, tendinitis in his left knee). James directed the offense, and with so much attention paid to him, he routinely found open shooters, who converted.
