2009 NBA Playoffs: Game 4 - Cleveland Cavaliers 84 Atlanta Hawks 74 (Highlights)

Game 4: Cleveland Cavaliers 84 Atlanta Hawks 74

Analysis: Another series that I'm glad is over because there was just about ZERO drama in it. The Hawks were just no match for the Cavs with Joe Johnson playing less than stellar and Al Horford and Marvin Williams nursing injuries. Lebron had his way in all four games, which means the Hawks didn't really do enough to defend him, since it seemed to be easy for Lebron and he never had to work for his points. Delonte West and Mo Williams combined for 33 points in this game and they averaged 29.8 points a game in this series. You figure 33.8 from Lebron and 30 from West & Williams and you got 63 points right there and then another 25 from Ilgauskus and the rest of the Cavs and you got 88 points. I'm thinking that Lebron and Mo Williams are going to have to score around an extra 12 points a game on average for the Cavs to win the next round.

Key Players of The Game

Lebron James: 27 points, 8 rebounds, and 8 assists on 9 of 22 shooting was probably Lebron's worst game of this series, which shows you how great he's been.

Delonte West: West stepped his game up more than Mo Williams did in this one. He finished with 21 points, 4 rebounds, and 6 assists.

Josh Smith: Smith finished the series with another strong game scoring a team-high 26 points and grabbing 8 rebounds. He finished the series averaging 18.5 points and 5.0 rebounds.
