Lebron James, Cleveland Cavalier star, hopes that the playoffs could somehow appease Cleveland over the acquittal of Michael Brelo.

Brelo, who shot two unarmed black occupants inside a car 15 times, was acquitted of his charges last Saturday.

CNN wrote that he was acquitted by the judge partly upon the reason that Brelo believed that he was in danger when he shot the unarmed occupants.

This caused outrage not just in Cleveland but also in Ferguson, Missouri and New York, with people holding up sings while chanting "no justice, no peace."

The case started when the police mistaken a noise made by the car driven by Timothy Russell, one of the occupants of the car, into a gun shot.

Thirteen officers including Brelo fired a hundred of times.  After the officers concluded that they can't be considered a threat, the accused officer exited the car and fired 15 more shots through the wind shield.

James explained in an interview with Yahoo Sports that violence is not the answer. He said that we should be more concerned on the families of the victims.

He said that he believes that sports are one of the biggest healers in helping out a city that has experienced something dramatic and traumatizing.

This Sunday, Cavalier would host the game against Atlanta Hawks in a game of three during the NBA best-of-seven series.

The team and NBA would be in touch with local officials against any protests that might turn violent, a Cavalier spokesman said.

Cavalier won over Hawks by 12 points taking a 2-0 lead on the 2^nd Game of the Eastern Conference Finals.

According to bleacher report, James had an outstanding performance finishing with 30 points, nine rebounds and 11 assists.

The absence of Kyrie Irving seemed to not falter the Cavaliers because they were dominant and in control of the game.

While, the Hawks are having tough season with Kyle Korver having a sprained ankle and Al Harford leaving because of an injury.
