After trailing by as 18 points in the third quarter, the Hawks rallied to take the lead with 7:37 left to play in the fourth quarter.

However, the Cavaliers, who improved to 9-0 against Atlanta in the postseason and eight straight in playoffs, managed to build another double digit lead and close out the contest.

“I just like how our guys come together when things get tough now,” Cavs coach Tyronn Lue said. “That’s the biggest thing for us. We’ve got a great team. When things get tough, we have to come together even more.”

Game 2 in the series is Wednesday night in Cleveland again.

“I thought the way our guys competed for the whole night was what we need,” Budenholzer said.

“Going forward I think we can play better.”

According to the stats gurus, Cleveland’s nine-game postseason winning streak against Hawks is the second-longest active streak in the league, behind the club’s own 12-game record over the Detroit Pistons.
