Cavs Sweep Into Conference Finals
05-11-2009 10:07 pm
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, challenged seriously for
the first time in these playoffs, 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.
