Cavaliers Complete Historic 4-0 Sweep over Heat by 55 Points

The Cleveland Cavaliers completed a historic 4-0 sweep of the Miami Heat in the first round of the NBA playoffs, setting a new record for the most lopsided series in league history with a combined margin of 122 points. Cleveland dominated every game, culminating in a 138-83 victory in Game 4, which marked the fourth-largest single-game playoff win ever. The Cavaliers raced to an early 43-14 lead in Game 4 and never looked back, highlighting the disparity between the teams. Miami, the first No. 10 seed to reach the playoffs, struggled after the Jimmy Butler trade, managing only two Play-In wins to enter the postseason. The series sweep leaves the Heat facing an uncertain offseason, while the Cavaliers advance to face either the Indiana Pacers or Milwaukee Bucks in the Eastern Conference semifinals. Cleveland's performance underscored their depth and readiness for a deeper playoff run.
