Video Highlights: Cavs Take 2-0 Lead Over Heat Behind Donovan Mitchell’s 30

CLEVELAND — It got a little close there at the end, but eventually, the Cavaliers finished the job.

For the second straight game they scored 121 points and for the second straight game, they won. They now lead their first-round series against the Miami Heat, 2-0. The final in this one: Cavs 121, Heat 112.

Donovan Mitchell erupted for 30 points, including 17 big ones in the fourth quarter. Darius Garland tacked on 21 points and nine assists, and Evan Mobley scored 20. 

Below are several highlights and a cool moment involving a Kenny Atkinson challenge. As I wrote on X, it was the greatest coach’s challenge in the history of the NBA. (Which, by the way, Atkinson won.)
