The Atlanta Hawks ( 18 - 7 ) went on the road and made a statement , beating the Cleveland Cavaliers ( 14 - 10 ) 127 - 98 on Wednesday . Atlanta came into this game as one of the hottest teams in the NBA , and it showed on Wednesday , as they put on a show while dominating LeBron James and the Cavaliers . What made this even more impressive is that the team was without Jeff Teague ( hamstring ) , so Dennis Schroder earned the start . Schroder did a nice job running the offense , and in just 22 minutes , he had 10 points ( 4 - 6 FG , 0 - 1 3Pt , 2 - 2 FT ) , with 10 assists . The most surprising showing though , had to be from Shelvin Mack off the bench , who racked up 23 minutes and scored an impressive 24 points ( 7 - 8 FG , 6 - 6 3Pt , 4 - 4 FT ) , with three assists and two rebounds . Atlanta showed up across the board , with eight players scoring at least nine points in an impressive win . For the Cavaliers , it was just a struggle . James scored well , with 21 points ( 8 - 16 FG , 0 - 2 3Pt , 5 - 7 FT ) , but had only three rebounds , two assists and two steals . It was a pretty quiet game for the superstar . Dion Waiters had a nice night off the bench , scoring 21 points ( 9 - 18 FG , 1 - 3 3Pt , 2 - 2 FT ) to go with four assists and three rebounds in 27 minutes . Kevin Love was slowed by an illness , but played through it to get a double - double with 13 points and 10 rebounds . No other Cavaliers player topped 10 points .
