Cavaliers set new NBA record with 25 made 3-pointers

The Cleveland Cavaliers set an all-time NBA record with 25 made 3-pointers during Wednesday's lopsided Game 2 victory, aided by J.R. Smith's 23 points and 7-of-13 shooting from downtown.

What It Means:

Cleveland has a 2-0 series lead over the Atlanta Hawks, and it's looking like this may be another short series for the top seed in the East.

The Cavaliers rank fifth in the league with a 65.8 nERD, and our numbers give them a 16.1 percent chance of winning the championship this year.
