Three-point shooting once again led the Cavaliers as they held off a hungry Hawks team in the fourth for a 100-99 win on Sunday in Atlanta.
Kevin Love led the way in Game 4 by making eight threes on his way to 27 points and 13 rebounds. LeBron James added 21 points, 10 rebounds and nine assists and Kyrie Irving had 21 points. The Cavaliers were 16-of-37 from behind the three-point line.
Paul Millsap had 19 points in the loss as the Hawks were swept out of the playoffs by the Cavaliers for the second straight season.
The Hawks offense came out firing in the first. They put up 36 points in the first quarter and went into the half with a 58-56 lead, despite the Cavaliers going 10-of-16 from deep. The shooting didn’t slow in the third, as the Cavaliers made five more threes to take an 81-77 lead.
The Hawks did their best to hang, even briefly taking a lead in the fourth, but the Cavaliers once again proved too strong. Irving and James controlled the offense as the Cavaliers built up a five-point lead, but Dennis Schroder led a 6-0 Hawks run to give the Hawks a 97-96 lead with 1:31 to play.
LeBron James put the Cavaliers up with 1:16 left and Tristan Thompson came up with a huge block on the next possession before James added one more jumper to give the Cavaliers a three-point lead.
