Cleveland Cavaliers set NBA record with 25 three-pointers

Despite doubts, the Cleveland Cavaliers showed their haters and beat the Atlanta Hawks with a record 25 three-pointers Wednesday night!

Now more experts, fans, and critics believe the favorites for the final round of the NBA playoffs are the Golden State Warriors and the Cavs. With the Warriors' media and fan popularity, and the Cavs' winning streak, which team is the better favorite in the NBA playoffs thus far?

The teams tied with 20 three-pointers on April 20. Then the Warriors set a new record with 21 three-pointers on April 21. Wednesday night the Cavs gave the Warriors a run for their money and took the record back, according to ESPN Stats & Info.

The Cavs have an undefeated record, and the Warriors' star Steph Curry is rehabbing from a strain. However, the Warriors beat the Cavs 105-97 at last year's playoffs and many believe the playoffs are the Warriors' for the taking.

But who's better this playoff season? What do you think: #Cavs or #Warriors?

Others hope the Cavs can keep it up.

If the #Cavs can shoot like this (or close to it), they have a legitimate chance to compete with the #Warriors https://t.co/1NQBNxgIZw

The Cavs and Warriors are going head-to-head with breaking the same record.

4/20: Cavs tied postseason record for 3s in a gm (20)

4/24: Warriors broke the postseason record (21)

Wednesday night: Cavs took it back

Some fans feel as though the Cavs don’t get the same love as the Warriors.

@AmicoHoops if the @warriors were the only undefeated team thus far, @espn would not talk about anything else, including tonights history

If it was #Warriors instead of #Cavs the national media and @ESPN would devote the entire day to proclaiming their greatness. @dpshow

@espn if the Warriors did what the Cavs did last night y'all would be saying Steph is better than Jordan...Cavs get a normal reaction

Most pts n made 3s in a half during the 2016 playoffs aren't held by the #Warriors that honor goes to the #Cavs. #NBAPlayoffs

Others say the Cavs still can’t beat the Warriors.

everybody calm down. The #Cavs need to replicate this performance 4 times out of 7 to beat the #Warriors or the #Spurs.

Some believe the Warriors can break the Cavs record of the most threes!

#Cavs break the record for most threes made. I expect the #Warriors to break it before the playoffs are over.
