NBA schedule 2014: Cleveland blows out Atlanta for 4th straight win

The Kings players can’t worry about that, though. With their win against the Spurs, the Kings quieted any thoughts that the first five wins might have just been a fluke. As long as they’ve got Boogie Cousins and plenty of hard fouls to go around, no NBA team is looking forward to playing them.

To be fair, there’s a reason Lance Stephenson was hitting himself: Harrison Barnes came across and hit his arm, and his arm was kinda in front of his face, and boom! Hand in the face! Not an egregious flop! But it’s still Lance Stephenson slapping himself:

Previously, Lance Stephenson had made himself into a meme by videobombing Derek Fisher, and, of course, blowing into LeBron’s ear.

Cleveland made its first nine three-point attempts, an NBA record for the most threes in a quarter without a miss, according to Dave McMenamin. The Cavs eventually made their first 11 shots from beyond the arc before finally missing. The 13 made threes in the first half tied a franchise record.

The Hawks are 5-3 but their record is deceiving. All of their losses came against good teams and they are on a four-game winning streak. This game could tell us a lot about how much have the Cavs really improved after a shaky first couple of games.

These two teams figure to be among the best in the Eastern conference so this could be a playoff preview and is one of the most interesting match-ups in the rather underwhelming 10-game slate the league has for us tonight.
