CLEVELAND - The Cavaliers largest loss of the season didnt sit well with coach David Blatt.That was embarrassing, how we played, he said after the Atlanta Hawks routed Cleveland 127-98 on Wednesday night. I apologize to all the good fans who came out here. Really, just a poor, poor performance.Shelvin Mack scored a career-high 24 points and the Hawks won for the 11th time in 12 games.Mack, a reserve guard who came in averaging 3.8 points, made all six of his 3-pointers as the Hawks went 16 for 28 from behind the arc.Trailing 50-38 midway through the second quarter, Atlanta outscored Cleveland 89-48 the rest of the way. The Hawks, playing without leading scorer Jeff Teague, avenged a 127-94 defeat in Cleveland on Nov. 15.We got blown out the first game, like blown all the way out, Mack said. That wasnt a great feeling. We wanted to come back and see what were made of.LeBron James scored 21 points but didnt play in the fourth quarter, which began with Atlanta leading 95-75.While Blatt said he didnt see any fight in his team, James didnt find the loss embarrassing, but said the team had a setback defensively. The four-time MVP took an analytical approach to the defeat, Clevelands third in four games since winning eight straight.We allowed them to get too many open looks, he said. This is a well-coached team that we played. It reminds you of playing San Antonio, that system. They move the ball and get you in uncomfortable positions.Atlanta coach Mike Budenholzer, a longtime Spurs assistant before taking over the Hawks last season, was understandably pleased with the performance.Its a great team win, he said. You go up and down the roster, different guys contributing at different times. Thats what were trying to build, is a team.Al Horford scored 20 points and Mike Scott added 15 for Atlanta, which had seven players in double figures and shot 64.5 per cent from the field.The Hawks went 24 for 35 in the first half and continued to slice up Clevelands defence in the third quarter. Paul Millsaps jumper put them ahead 79-68 at the 6:51 mark, and the lead never got under double digits.Atlanta went 9 of 11 on 3s in the second quarter to erase a 12-point deficit and led 65-60 at halftime.Mack made all five of his 3-point attempts and scored 17 in the quarter. Scotts 3-pointer from two steps behind the arc at the buzzer capped the sequence.Kevin Love, who missed the morning shootaround because of flu-like symptoms, scored 13 points and had 10 rebounds for Cleveland.The game began much like the matchup in November, when Cleveland hit all nine of its 3-pointers in the first quarter and began the game 11 for 11 from behind the arc.The Cavaliers again put on an impressive offensive display in the first quarter Wednesday when they hit 12 of 19 shots with 10 assists. As they did in Mondays win over Charlotte, Love and James hooked up on two highlight-reel plays. Love hit James with two length-of-the-court passes that resulted in layups.___NICE STRETCHThe Hawks defeated Chicago on Monday and followed that with another strong performance, which was even more impressive considering Teague was sidelined. Its what Im referencing when I talk about a good team, Budenholzer said. Somebodys down, we have a lot of confidence in everybody that they can step up and do what we need to win.IN THE LINEUPLove said he didnt consider not playing despite battling the flu. I always felt like I was going to play. If Im feeling up to it, Im going out there and give it a go. Love played 32 minutes before being pulled early in the fourth.TIP-INSHawks: Dennis Schroder started at point guard in place of Teague, who leads the team in points (16.8) and assists (7.0).
