CLEVELAND, May 4 (UPI) -- Crying Jordan is officially everywhere. Even NBA teams are embracing the viral meme at this point.
The Atlanta Hawks used it to mock its own team Wednesday, during and after getting blown out by the Cleveland Cavaliers 123-98 in Game 2 of the NBA Eastern Conference semi-finals.
Cleveland led 74-38 at halftime and never looked back, with the help of an NBA record 25 3-pointers.

Soon after tip-off, the Hawks tweeted "enough with the corner three's," followed by emoji's of a knife, a don't sign, a three, and prayer hands.

An hour later the team tweeted "if you take away their 3's we're right in this..."
If you take away their 3's we're right in this...

But at halftime, the account manager officially lost it, posting a photo of Michael Jordan crying instead of how many points the Hawks had.

Then the account tweeted the numbers zero through nine, with Jordan's face instead of a No. 3.
