On this episode of Locked On Cavs, Danny Cunningham (The Inside Shot, 92.3 The Fan, Cleveland Magazine) examines the Cleveland Cavaliers' potential sweep of the Miami Heat in Game 4 of their playoff series. He highlights the strategic advantages of completing the sweep, such as gaining valuable rest before the next round, and discusses Darius Garland's toe injury and its implications for the team's playoff strategy. Drawing comparisons to past NBA playoff performances, Cunningham explores the "arms race" among top teams like the Cavs, Celtics, and Thunder, emphasizing the importance of rest and health in the postseason.
