Cavaliers Dominate Heat in NBA Playoff History's Most One-Sided Series

The Cleveland Cavaliers secured a historic sweep of the Miami Heat, winning by remarkable margins in all four games.

The Cleveland Cavaliers have made headlines after convincingly completing a sweep against the Miami Heat, with the most recent game ending in a staggering 138-83 victory. This series has been marked by incredible performance, leading to an extraordinary overall scoring differential of 122 points across four games.

Key Highlights

  • The final game saw the Cavs create a 70-25 lead towards the end of the second quarter, highlighting their dominance.
  • Miami’s head coach Erik Spoelstra accepted the devastating loss, stating, “This series was humbling… Cleveland’s also a very good team.”

Cavs’ Performance by the Numbers

  1. Game 4 was the fourth-most lopsided playoff game in NBA history.
  2. The Cavs’ 55-point win set a record for the most lopsided series clincher.
  3. Cleveland outscored Miami by an average of 33.5 points per 100 possessions throughout the series.
