There isn't enough firepower on this roster to keep pace for Cleveland's explosive offense. Miami's strength, its defense, isn't slowing the Cavs down. To this point, Cleveland is scoring a playoff-best 135.2 points per 100 possessions.

Late-game dramatics saw Stephen Curry and Jimmy Butler hit big-time shots both from the field and at the free-throw line. Curry finished with 37 points and Butler had 38 points. They did so without Draymond Green down the stretch as he fouled out.

Both the Oklahoma City Thunder and the Golden State Warriors took 1-0 leads in their respective NBA Playoff series. The Thunder's win was one of the most lopsided playoff games in the history of the MVP. While the No. 1 seed is expected to beat the No. 8 seed a majority of the time, it's unlikely anyone saw just how Game 1 would shake out.
