  The game started with both teams hitting on a trio of 3-pointer's early.  The game was tied until the Falcons went on a 8-2 run to go up six.  The Falcons would lead by as many as 13 (37-24) and never trailed the rest of the way.  The Cavaliers would get to within six (43-37) at halftime.
  The Falcons made five of the first six shots they took to start the second half and used a 15-0 run to put the game out of reach.  The Falcons would cruise to victory from that point.
