BAE Index, 5/5/15: Cleveland Cavaliers torch the Atlanta Hawks
By Wes Goldberg
Welcome to the BAE Index.
Off da hizzy
The Cleveland Cavaliers drained three pointer after three pointer against the Atlanta Hawks, breaking a single-game record for 25 three’s in a game Wednesday night. Atlanta’s defenders couldn’t do anything, I mean, it’s head scratching. Or, for Mike Muscala, head… ouching? Mo Williams went with the ole’ ricochet off the head. And, yeah, of course it ended up as a three-pointer.
JR Swish
I mean, it was just a bunch of this all night…
Smith was 7-of-13 from three-point range… Kyrie Irving was 4-of-5… LeBron James was 4-of-6… Kevin Love was 3-of-4… Channing Frye was 1-of-3… Richardson Jefferson was 2-of-2… Delly was 1-of-3… and Mo Williams, Shumpert and Dahntay Jones (apparently on the Cavs) each chipped in one apiece.
KAT Love
Karl-Anthony Towns gave a baby tiger a smooch and lived to share it on ‘gram.
It’s everything the internet’s ever wanted.
CHARLES ON CHARLES ACTION
So here’s what happened. As the Cavs torched the Hawks, Charles Barkley said that Atlanta needed to get their goon on and take someone out to keep the Cavaliers from running up the score.
That didn’t go over well, mostly because it’s stupid. And Charles Oakley, who Barkley played against and tussled with in the 80’s and 90’s, got on the Twitter machine to fire shots at the TNT personality.
Charles Barkley ,you better stop talking s*** about Cleveland you was never tough you hide behind TNT

Barkley had his chance to respond.
“He’s not important enough for me to think about.”
