NBA: James does it all as Cavs take 2-0 lead vs Hawks



Lebron James was one rebound short of a triple double as the Cleveland Cavaliers took a 2-0 series lead against the Atlanta Hawks, 94-82, on Saturday.

The hometown hero had 30 points, 11 assists and nine rebounds to lead his team to victory. Iman Shumpert had 16 points for Cleveland, while Matthew Dellavedova chipped in 11. Timofey Mozgov rounded up the starters in double figures with 10. Tristan Thompson ony had seven points but tallied 16 boards and two denials.

Cleveland had to play with just one of its "Big 3", as Kevin Love has long been ruled out for the season diue to a dislocated shoulder, while Kyrie Irving was sidelined by tendinitis on his left knee. The pointguard traveled with the team to Atlanta, but did not play. Irving remains questionable for Game 3 as the team heads back home to Cleveland.

Starters Paul Millsap, Al Horford and Kyle Korver had 12 each for the humbled Hawks, while Dennis Schroder added 13 off the bench. - GMA News
