LeBron James scored 32 points and the Cleveland Cavaliers shot the lights to deliver an emphatic 127-94 victory over the Atlanta Hawks on Saturday night. The Cavaliers sizzled behind the arc (19/31 3FGs or 61.3%) and overall (49/90 FGs or 54.4%) even as all Cavaliers scored on this night with five players scoring in double-figures.

James, who added 6 rebounds and 7 assists, had help from Kyrie Irving (20 points on 4/7 3FG) and Kevin Love (13 points, 5 rebounds and 6 assists) plus bench guys Dion Waiters (9 points, 8 assists and 4 steals) and Tristan Thompson (15 points and 7 rebounds). The Cavaliers showing from behind the arc set a new team record.

The 33-point beat down of Atlanta is the largest margin of victory for the Cavaliers, which improved to 5 wins against 3 losses for the season. Cleveland is now on a four-game winning streak, their longest of the season, with previous wins over the Denver Nuggets, New Orleans Pelicans and Boston Celtics.

This was over by halftime when the Cavaliers led 71-43 at the break owing to an impressive first quarter when Cleveland hit 9-of-9 shots from behind the arc. They went on to make eleven straight for the game.

The Hawks dropped their fourth game in 9 games. Atlanta, which had their four-game winning streak snapped, was led by Paul Millsap’s 16 points and 4 rebounds and Al Horford’s 10 markers. Other starters like Jeff Teague (2/8 FGs) and Kyle Korver (0/1 FGs) were limited to 5 and 0 points, respectively.
