LeBron James scored 27 points, ending the first and second quarters with last-second baskets, and Mo Williams added 15 points as the untested Cavaliers overpowered the Atlanta Hawks 105-85 on Thursday night to open a 2-0 lead in their Eastern Conference semifinal.

Now a perfect 6-0 (6-0 ATS) in the postseason, the Cavaliers tied a league record by winning their sixth consecutive playoff game by double digits.

If that wasn’t bad enough for the Hawks, Joe Johnson rolled his right ankle in the third quarter and did not return.

X-rays were negative, but Johnson wore a walking boot as he went to the bus before heading home for Game 3 on Saturday. The series now switches to Philips Arena, where the Hawks went 31-10 during the regular season and beat Cleveland once. Get all your NBA playoff odds in the Bodog Sportsbook.
