Cavs Win by 55 to Complete the Sweep and Advance to the East Semifinals 🔥

Statement made. The Cleveland Cavaliers didn’t just close out their first-round series—they dominated it. With a jaw-dropping 55-point blowout win, the Cavs completed a clean 4-0 sweep and punched their ticket to the Eastern Conference Semifinals in emphatic fashion. Final score: Cleveland 128, Opponent 73. And it wasn’t even that close.

From the opening tip, the Cavaliers made it clear they had no intention of letting this series stretch another game. The energy, execution, and intensity were on another level—and their opponent had no answers. Cleveland raced out to a 20-point lead in the first quarter and never looked back, ballooning the lead to over 40 by the third before cruising through the fourth with their reserves on the floor.

This was a total team performance, but it starts with Donovan Mitchell. The All-Star guard once again showed why he’s one of the most dangerous postseason performers in the league. He dropped 32 points in just three quarters, picking apart the defense with step-back threes, transition finishes, and sharp playmaking. But more than his numbers, it was his leadership and killer instinct that set the tone early and kept the foot on the gas.

Darius Garland, Evan Mobley, and Jarrett Allen all delivered big-time performances as well. Garland pushed the tempo and controlled the offense with precision, while Mobley and Allen formed an impenetrable wall inside. The duo combined for 7 blocks and altered countless other shots, anchoring a defense that held their opponent to just 36% shooting from the field.

The Cavs’ bench got in on the action too. Caris LeVert and Georges Niang poured in points in the second half, and the blowout allowed young players like Craig Porter Jr. and Sam Merrill to get valuable playoff minutes. It was the kind of team-wide showcase that turns heads—and sends a message to the rest of the conference.

And the message is loud and clear: the Cavs are for real.

After last season’s disappointing first-round exit, Cleveland entered these playoffs with something to prove. They’ve done exactly that—showcasing a more mature, cohesive, and ruthless squad. Head coach J.B. Bickerstaff deserves major credit for the game plans and adjustments that left their opponent scrambling in every game.

But now, the stakes only get higher. The Cavaliers are headed to the Eastern Conference Semifinals, where a much tougher challenge awaits. Whether it’s the Boston Celtics, Milwaukee Bucks, or another Eastern heavyweight, Cleveland will be tested. But with this kind of momentum, they won’t be taken lightly.

A 55-point win to close out a sweep? That’s not just a victory—it’s a warning shot to the league.

The Cavs are clicking. They’re confident. And they’re coming.
