00:00The Cavs pull away, 30-point performance out of Spida, Donovan Mitchell, 28 points in only 26 minutes from Ty Jerome off the bench.
00:09A finalist for the NBA's sixth man of the year, living up to that billing.
00:1421-point win for Cleveland at home.
00:17The Cavaliers cover DRS as a 12-point home favorite, winning by 21, 121-100.
00:23Yeah, and the interesting part about this, too, is some of the expectations.
00:27And we talk about this, like, in elevation, like, hey, man, your leg's going to give out in the second half when you play in Denver because you're not used to being there.
00:32Maybe you're on the second back-to-back here, and that second leg is in Denver.
00:36So, well, why would you bring that up, Donnie?
00:37Well, understand what Miami's going through right now.
00:39High leverage situation playing game number one on the road.
00:42High leverage playing game situation number two on the road.
00:45And then you don't get all that much break, and you're playing the number one seed once again on the road.
00:49And look at how competitive Miami was.
00:51Yes, they were down seven after the first quarter.
00:53Down eight at the break.
00:54Played evenly in the third quarter.
00:56Then we get to the fourth quarter.
00:58They lose 34-21.
00:59The legs just weren't there at that point, and it's no surprise here.
01:02Cleveland won that game going away as they should have.
01:05But I'm interested to see now, with Miami staying in Cleveland, Spolster's a very good coach.
01:09They still have a decent lineup.
01:11I want to see how they perform in game number two because if they can keep it close or pull a victory, this could be a fun series.
01:16But if it's another 20-point win, even after the heat, we're able to get acclimated to Cleveland and rest,
01:21well, then you know we're probably headed for four or a five-game set.
