Hawks start Sefolosha over Korver in Game 3

Dale Zanine / USA TODAY Sports

The Atlanta Hawks will start defensive stalwart Thabo Sefolosha over sharpshooter Kyle Korver in Game 3 against the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Having been shelled for 25 threes in Game 2, the Hawks are in dire need for more defense - specifically in the matchup against LeBron James. Sefolosha is the only wing who has found a modicum of success against James so far.

Taking Korver off the court, however, will likely hurt the Hawks' offense. Sefolosha is nowhere near the caliber of shooter that Korver is.

Cleveland leads the series 2-0 after a pair of convincing victories at the Quicken Loans Arena.
