Danny Cunningham: #Cavs escape with a 121-112 win over the Heat to take a 2-0 lead in the series. Donovan Mitchell was spectacular, scoring 17 of his 30 points in the fourth quarter and carrying Cleveland to the victory. Closer than it needed to be, but the Cavs have protected homecourt.

I don’t think this rest for Donovan Mitchell and Evan Mobley should be too long. – 9:44 PM

I have no idea how that pass from Ty Jerome got to Donovan Mitchell in the right corner. It leads to an Evan Mobley dunk + foul. #Cavs trail 21-20 with 1:53 left in the first. – 8:04 PM

Danny Cunningham: The non-lottery order of the 2025 NBA Draft was finalized today. Cleveland owns the No. 48 overall pick (via Milwaukee) and No. 58 overall pick. The #Cavs first round pick this year was the first selection they sent to Utah for Donovan Mitchell. That pick is 29th and now belongs to Phoenix. -via Twitter @RealDCunningham / April 21, 2025
Jarrett Allen: “Each year, we got better and better. That year when I came over, we missed the playoffs. By a lot. The next season, though, we just barely missed the play-in. Then we make it in but lose in the first round. The next year, we make the conference semifinals. And now, best record in the conference. That type of improvement … there’s no magic formula. It’s a lot of big and little things over time. Of course, it doesn’t hurt to have guys like Donovan and Darius on your team. Being able to pencil two of the best players in the world into your lineup every night? That’s huge. But I truly believe that there’s so much more to winning basketball than just good players. “ -via The Players’ Tribune / April 21, 2025
