PRO BASKETBALL PREP FOOTBALL: SPRING PRACTICE Hawks hang around, but Cavs prevail

BY PAUL NEWBERRY Associated Press Writer ATLANTA — LeBron James didn’t come close to matching his performance in Game 3. He did enough to lead the Cleveland Cavaliers to another playoff sweep — and get in a few jabs at the Atlanta fans. James scored 27 points and had the last word with a heckling fan at courtside as the Cavaliers finished off the Hawks 84-74 Monday night to win the second- round series in four straight. Delonte West and Mo Williams showed Cleveland isn’t just a one- man team, hitting huge shots down the stretch as the Cavaliers managed to extend their NBA- record streak of double-digit play- off wins to eight in a row. Cleveland, which also swept Detroit in the opening round, will face either Boston or Orlando in the Eastern Conference finals. No matter the opponent, the Cavaliers will be a lot more rest- ed. The Celtics-Magic series is tied 2-2 and will last at least through Thursday,while the top seed heads back to Ohio to relax for a few days before opening the next round at home.
