Cavaliers Set Series Margin Record in Heat Sweep

The Cleveland Cavaliers completed a historic first-round sweep of the Miami Heat, winning Game 4 by 138-83 and achieving a 122-point combined margin—the largest series margin in NBA playoff history. Despite missing Darius Garland, Donovan Mitchell led Cleveland with 22 points, while De'Andre Hunter, Jarrett Allen, and Evan Mobley made significant contributions. The Cavaliers started strong with a 30-8 run and built a 72-33 halftime lead, the biggest ever in a potential series-clinching NBA playoff game. Their 55-point victory in Game 4 ranks as the fourth-largest single-game margin in playoff history. Miami struggled from the outset and was unable to recover from the early deficit. Cleveland advances to face the winner of the Indiana Pacers and Milwaukee Bucks series in the Eastern Conference semifinals.
