ATLANTA (AP) – LeBron James didn’t come close to matching his performance in Game 3. He did enough to lead the Cleveland Cavaliers to another playoff sweep – and get in a few jabs at the Atlanta fans.
James scored 27 points and had the last word with a heckling fan at courtside as the Cavaliers finished off the Hawks 84-74 Monday night to win the second-round series in four straight. Delonte West and Mo Williams showed Cleveland isn’t just a one-man team, hitting huge shots down the stretch as the Cavaliers still managed to extend their NBA-record streak of double-digit playoff wins to eight in a row.
Cleveland, which also swept Detroit in the opening round, will face either Boston or Orlando in the Eastern Conference finals.
