HAWKS HOLD OFF CAVS

The Atlanta Hawks silenced their critics and proved the doubters wrong and also proved that they were in fact the best team in all of the Eastern Conference with a 106-97 win over the Cleveland Cavaliers. DeMarre Carroll and co. kept Lebron James to only 18 points. “I wanted to be a gnat,” Carroll said. “You know, when you’re outside in the summer, and you can’t get that gnat away from you.”
