CLEVELAND, March 27 (UPI) -- Marvin Williams pumped in 31 points Sunday, propelling the playoff-bound Atlanta Hawks past Cleveland 99-83.

Williams also grabbed seven rebounds for the Hawks, who followed Saturday's playoff-clinching win over New Jersey with a victory over the lowly Cavaliers.

Al Horford logged 20 points and 10 boards, and Josh Smith contributed 13 points and eight assists while pulling down a season-best 18 rebounds for Atlanta.

The Hawks won despite the absence of leading scorer Joe Johnson, who sprained his right thumb Saturday.

Cleveland, which lost for the eighth time in nine games, got 19 points and seven assists from Baron Davis.

Topics: Joe Johnson, Josh Smith, Marvin Williams
