The Cleveland Cavaliers moved into Round 2 with the most lopsided series win in NBA playoff history. The Cavs led this game by as many as 60 points before beating the Heat 138-83 to sweep their Eastern Conference 1st-round series in 4 games. Donovan Mitchell scored 22 points, De’Andre Hunter added 19 and Ty Jerome had 18 points, Evans Mobley added 17 and Jarrett Allen had 14 points, 12 rebounds and six steals for the Cavaliers. Cleveland won the series by a combined 122 points, one more than the previous record for series margin set by Denver over New Orleans in 2009. The 55-point margin in Game 4 was the 2nd consecutive game in which the Cavs handed the Heat their worst playoff loss in Heat history, topping Saturday’s 124-87 blowout. The combined score of the 2 games was 262-170. Nikola Jovic led the Heat with 24 points. Ban Adebayo scored 13, while Pelle Larsson and Andrew Wiggins added 12 apiece. Cleveland jumped out to a 9-0 lead and led 43-14 late in the 1st quarter before Davion Mitchell’s buzzer-beating 3-pointer made it 43-17 after a quarter. The Cavs would increase their lead in every quarter. Cleveland’s lead was 72-33 at the half, the 3rd-largest lead after 2 quarters in NBA playoff history. The loss puts an end to a crazy season for the Heat- their worst regular season in 10 years followed by their worst playoff defeat in franchise history. How will they respond?
