The Cavaliers just set the NBA record for made threes in a game, with 25 long-balls against the Hawks in Game 2 of the East semifinals.
Unsurprisingly, LeBron James was called to the podium afterward. More surprisingly, so was J.R. Smith, who hit seven of 13 three-point attempts on his way to 23 points in the 123–98 victory.
James was asked what it would be like to play like his teammate, just for one game.
