Cavaliers Complete Historic 4-0 Sweep of Heat

The Cleveland Cavaliers decisively swept the Miami Heat in the first round of the NBA playoffs, clinching a 4-0 series win with a historic 138-83 victory in Game 4. The 55-point blowout marked Miami’s worst playoff defeat and set the record for the most lopsided series-clinching win in NBA playoff history. Donovan Mitchell led Cleveland with 22 points, supported by strong performances from De'Andre Hunter, Ty Jerome, Evan Mobley, and Jarrett Allen, as six Cavaliers scored in double figures. Cleveland’s relentless play saw them build a 43-17 first-quarter lead and extend it to 72-33 by halftime, effectively ending Miami's hopes early. Heat coach Erik Spoelstra called the series 'humbling' and 'embarrassing,' acknowledging the clear gap between the teams. The Cavaliers will face either the Milwaukee Bucks or the Indiana Pacers in the Eastern Conference semifinals, with Indiana currently leading that series.
