Cavs Lead 2-0 After 121-112 Win Over Heat

The Cleveland Cavaliers took a 2-0 lead over the Miami Heat in their first-round NBA playoff series with a 121-112 victory, highlighted by Donovan Mitchell's 17 fourth-quarter points and a record-setting 11 three-pointers in the second quarter. Despite building a 19-point lead, the Cavaliers had to fend off a late surge from Miami, with Mitchell delivering clutch baskets to secure the win. Darius Garland contributed 21 points and nine assists, and Evan Mobley added 20 points and key free throws down the stretch. Miami's Tyler Herro led the Heat with 33 points, but the team struggled to overcome Cleveland's hot shooting and late-game composure. Cavaliers coach Kenny Atkinson praised the team's resilience and Mitchell's ability to take over in crucial moments. The series now shifts to Miami for Game 3, with Cleveland aiming to maintain their momentum.
