Cavaliers Defeat Heat 124-87, Take 3-0 Series Lead

The Cleveland Cavaliers are on the verge of sweeping the Miami Heat after handing them their worst playoff loss in franchise history, winning Game 3 by a margin of 124-87. Even with All-Star guard Darius Garland sidelined due to a toe injury, the Cavs dominated both offensively and defensively, taking control with a massive first-half lead and outscoring the Heat 60-30 in the paint. Jarrett Allen and De’Andre Hunter led the way for Cleveland, while Miami's key players struggled, and the team committed numerous turnovers. The Heat, now trailing 0-3 in the series, face the daunting prospect of elimination in Game 4, with history showing no team has ever overcome such a deficit. Injuries continue to be a factor for both teams, but the Cavs' depth has proven decisive thus far. Cleveland is poised to advance to the next round, awaiting the outcome of the Pacers-Bucks series.
