Cleveland Cavaliers vs. Miami Heat, Game 2 of NBA Playoffs, April 23, 2025
CLEVELAND, Ohio — Scribbles in my notebook after the Cavs beat Miami 121-112 on Wednesday night to take a 2-0 lead in the best-of-seven first round of the playoffs.
1. The bottom line is the Cavs won. They played two games at home, winning both. In a seven-game series, the team that wins the first two games prevails in the series 93% of the time. But I hope the Cavs realized how they easily could have blown this game.
