Hawks defeat heat in 7 games. Move on to face Cavs.

In a tough seven game series the Hawks finally down Miami 91-78. This game was unique in that every game of the series was decided by double digits, the first seven game series to do such in 4 decades. It was also the first series Atlanta has won since 1999 ending one of the NBA's longest droughts. (first seven game series in 39 years). Miami Heat Guard Dwayne Wade played well in the series but at the end of the day he was the only one on his team showing up and by the 4th quarter the Hawks were well ahead.

The Hawks now go to Clevland argubally the best team in Basketball. Most pundits at this moment give the Hawks no chance and even declare that the Cavs will sweep. The key will be weather or not Clevlands week layoff has made them rusty or will they be well rested. Only time will tell. I think the Hawks put up a good fight but Cavs at home are just too strong. Cavs in 5 or 6 games.
