Cleveland Cavaliers vs Atlanta Hawks live stream: Watch NBA Playoffs 2015 Game 2 online (TNT)

The Cleveland Cavaliers will play the Atlanta Hawks on Friday night in Game 2 of their NBA Playoffs 2015 series. The Hawks can ill afford to go 0-2 down tonight, especially given that the series will switch to Cleveland for Game 3. Even though this is just the second game in this best of seven series, this is as close to a must-win game for the Hawks as they get without facing immediate elimination.

Tonight's big Game 2 between the Cleveland Cavaliers and the Atlanta Hawks has a scheduled start time of 8.30 p.m. ET, and takes place from the Philips Arena in Atlanta, Georgia. The game can be watched on TV on the TNT network, but can also be watched online through live stream via the link provided below.

Thousands of Cavaliers fans were holding their breath in Game 1 when LeBron James was seen limping around the court after rolling his right ankle. If they were to lose James at this stage of the season, it could spell disaster for their Championship hopes.

James has admitted that when the pain shot up from his ankle he simply thought, "Not again!"

It was the second time that James has felt sharp pain in his ankle this postseason, and for many Cleveland fans their immediate reaction after seeing their star player limping was panic.

However, James shook off the injury, bent down and tied his sneakers a bit tighter and went back out on court within minutes to huge sighs of relief from Cavaliers fans and players. In the days since that Game 1 injury, reports have indicated that James will be fit enough to run out for Game 2.

Cleveland coach David Blatt has said, "He's the closest thing to Superman there is out there. That's the only way I can explain it."

However, things may not look as bright for Kyrie Irving, who came on for only three minutes in the fourth quarter of Game 1 before feeling pain in his left knee again.

Irving skipped Friday morning practice, and will await a final decision on his left knee injury before it's announced whether he will be able to participate tonight in Game 2.

However, the outlook does not look good, and some are even questioning whether he will be able to feature at all for the remainder of this series.

Blatt has said, "He wants to be out there at his best and he's dealing with a situation that's not easy for him. On the other hand he's still out there contributing and giving us things we really need and battling through this thing with heart and with courage."

He added, "We hope that (Irving) can play. The nature of his problem is one that allows him to do so. It's just a matter of discomfort and sort of having to deal with the elements and play through it."

If Irving doesn't make it out on court tonight, then it is likely that Matthew Dellavedova will fill in the position at point guard for Cleveland.
