In a back-to-back home and home series, Cleveland will face Atlanta for the first time this season after sweeping the Hawks in last year’s playoffs. In the regular season, the Cavaliers have won two straight games over the Hawks and four straight games at The Q.
Since 2003-04, the Cavaliers have the second highest winning percentage at 17-5, .773 against the Hawks with San Antonio 10-2 (.833) the only team better. The Cavs have not allowed the Hawks to score 100 points at home since Dec. 28, 2004 – a span of seven meetings, which is the team’s longest active streak versus one opponent on the road. (STATS, Inc.)
