The Cleveland Cavaliers rolled past the Atlanta Hawks 97-89 in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals on Wednesday in Atlanta.
LeBron James scored 31 points and J.R. Smith sank eight 3-pointers for Cleveland.
Cavaliers' forward James says his teammates have been great.
"You get a guy like J.R. Smith who is able to just shoot the ball and have the extreme confidence that every time they let it go, that it's going in. And I've been blessed to play with guys like that. When you have guys like that, you have to utilise them."
For Cleveland, this was the first game-one playoff road win in franchise history.
Game 2 is in Atlanta on Friday.
