On 30 , the first round of the NBA playoffs ushered in a focus match. The Cleveland Cavaliers , who ranked first in the Eastern Conference in the regular season, defeated the Miami Heat 138-83 away from home, swept their opponents with a total score of 4-0 , and advanced to the Eastern Conference semifinals first. This game not only demonstrated the Cavaliers' overwhelming dominance, but also refreshed many playoff historical records, becoming the absolute master of this round of the series.

The Cavaliers, who topped the Eastern Conference with 64 wins and 18 losses in the regular season , completely suppressed the Heat in this round of the series. This game was one-sided from the start. The Cavaliers scored 43 points in the first quarter, allowing the Heat to score only 17 points, establishing a huge lead. Star player Donovan Mitchell was active, scoring 13 points and sending 3 assists in a single quarter , leading the team to bloom.

In the second quarter, the Cavaliers continued to push forward, and a 21:4 attack wave completely broke the Heat. At the end of the half, the Cavaliers were already far ahead with 72:33 . Entering the second half, the game basically lost suspense. At the end of the third quarter, the Cavaliers further opened the score to 111:63 . In the end, the game ended with a big victory of 138:83 , and the series was swept with a score of 4-0 .

The Miami Heat have been through a lot this season. They only entered the playoffs as the tenth place in the regular season. Although they eliminated the Bulls and Hawks in succession and barely qualified for the playoffs as the eighth place in the Eastern Conference, the main player Jimmy Butler was traded in the middle of the season, and the core strength of the team has obviously declined. Although Tyler Herro tried his best, he could not carry the team alone.

Especially in the third game, even without the main point guard Darius Garland, the Cavaliers still defeated the Heat 124:87 , giving their opponents the worst playoff loss in team history. The 55- point loss in this game was the Heat's eighth consecutive home playoff loss, further reflecting the team's sluggish state and lack of manpower.

The Cavaliers showed an extreme offensive and defensive performance in this round of the series, not only suppressing the Heat on the field, but also rewriting history at the data level. The 55 -point difference in this game is the fourth largest difference in NBA playoff history . The Cavaliers have won their opponents by 92 points in two consecutive games and 122 points in a single round , both of which have broken NBA playoff records. In addition, in the second game, the Cavaliers also set a new record for the three-point shooting percentage in a single quarter of the playoffs with a single-quarter three-point shooting percentage of 11 out of 16 .

As the core of the team, Mitchell was in hot form in the series, averaging more than 25 points per game, and repeatedly stepped up at critical moments, which was an important guarantee for the Cavaliers to advance. With the advancement to the Eastern Conference semifinals, the Cavaliers will face the winner between the Pacers and the Bucks. Considering that Bucks star Damian Lillard may be out for the season due to a serious Achilles tendon injury, the Pacers have a greater chance of advancing, and the Cavaliers are very likely to face the Pacers.
