Cleveland took a 2-0 lead in the series 121-112 over the Heat on Wednesday when Donovan Mitchell scored 17 of his 30 points in the fourth quarter. Miami couldn't recover from the Cavaliers' second-quarter onslaught when they set an NBA playoff record with 11 3-pointers, although the Heat did cut it to two with 3:11 left. The Cavaliers have won the past four meetings, and the Heat are 0-4 ATS following an ATS win. Cleveland still is 49-34-1 ATS and Miami is 42-43-1 ATS this season. The Cavs have won 10 of 15 outright on the road and 16 of 20 against the Eastern Conference. Both teams are due to cool off shooting-wise as the Heat shot 52 percent from the field and Cleveland shot 48 percent and hit 22 of 45 3-point tries in Game 2. Tyler Herro scored 33 for Miami, but Cleveland has too many weapons for the Heat to contain. Take the Cavaliers and the first half and game to stay UNDER.
