Cleveland Cavaliers guard J.R. Smith set a franchise playoff record on Wednesday night (May 20), by sinking eight three-pointers in their 97-89 win over the Atlanta Hawks in the Eastern Conference Finals.

Off the bench, he accounted for all 28 of his Cavs' bench points, converting 10 of his 16 field-goal attempts, including eight of 12 from down town.
