Cavaliers forward Tristan Thompson sent everyone in Atlanta to the exits early as he put an exclamation point on the game with an alley-oop slam from LeBron James.

Tristan Thompson may have been robbed of an incredible block early on in the game, but the Cavaliers forward had the last laugh as he capped off the night in an emphatic way.

With the Cavaliers rolling right through the Atlanta Hawks in the second half, the highlight factory became home to the Cavaliers.

As the team was having their way with the struggling Hawks, they began making big dunks and lighting it up from deep.

The finale of the big plays came courtesy of another LeBron James assist.

As LeBron drove the lane looking to end the game himself, he threw the ball up to the trailing Tristan Thompson.

Thompson, who had been robbed of a highlight reel block earlier in the game, had his opportunity to leave his mark in a big way.

Thompson slammed home the alley-oop from James, and slammed home the door on Game 2 as the Cavaliers finished off Atlanta.

The Cavaliers all of a sudden look like they are well on their way to sweeping the Hawks, and their power forward Thompson is bringing the pain.
