The Cleveland Cavaliers crushed the Miami Heat 138-83 to complete a 4-0 series sweep and cruise into the NBA Eastern Conference playoff semi-finals on Monday.&nbsp;A dominant all-round offensive effort from the Cavaliers laid the foundations for a lopsided victory that saw the Heat exit the postseason with a whimper in front of their home crowd.
<h2>Cleveland Cavaliers crush Miami Heat</h2>
Donovan Mitchell led the Cavaliers scoring with 22 points on a night when six Cleveland players finished in double figures.
With Darius Garland (toe) missing from the Cleveland line-up, Mitchell received support from De'Andre Hunter with 19 points, Ty Jerome (18) and Evan Mobley (17).
The Eastern Conference No.1 seeds will face either the Milwaukee Bucks or Indiana Pacers in the next round. Indiana lead that series 3-1.
Mitchell said Cleveland had been determined to wrap up the series swiftly.
"We came out here with a goal in mind," Mitchell told TNT television. "To keep our foot on their throat and on their neck and continue to play 48 minutes of basketball."
That ruthlessness was apparent from the tip-off, with Cleveland rapidly opening up a monster 43-17 lead after the first quarter against a shellshocked Miami line-up.
The Cavs cranked up the pressure in the second quarter, stretching their lead to as many as 45 points before reaching half-time with a whopping 72-33 lead.
The punishment continued after the break, with the Cavaliers keeping the points flowing to build on their advantage, opening up a 48-point lead at 96-48 midway through the third quarter.

That lead had grown to 111-63 heading into the fourth quarter, and the carnage continued in the final frame as Cleveland romped home.
Miami coach Erik Spoelstra said Monday's blowout -- which followed a 124-87 pummeling on Saturday -- underscored the gulf between the two teams.
"Damn, it was humbling," Spoelstra said. "This series was humbling. These last two games were embarrassing. But Cleveland is a very good team... we were as irrational as we usually are thinking that we have a chance to win this series, and they showed us why we weren't ready for that."

Cleveland Cavaliers crush Miami Heat, seal series with dominant 4-0 win

The <a href="https://www.wionews.com/tags/orlando-magic">Orlando Magic</a> held off the defending champion <a href="https://www.wionews.com/tags/boston-celtics">Boston Celtics</a> 95-93 to cut the deficit in their NBA Eastern Conference playoff series to 2-1 on Friday as the Milwaukee Bucks clawed back a game against the Indiana Pacers.
The Bucks, who like the Magic had dropped the first two games of their series on the road, also turned the tables upon returning home for game three with a 117-101 victory over the Pacers.
The victories were crucial, with the Magic and Bucks both aware that no NBA team has come back from a 3-0 series deficit to win a playoff series.
Germany's Franz Wagner scored 32 points and handed out eight assists and Paolo Banchero added 29 points with six rebounds for the Magic in Orlando -- where the Celtics erased a 12-point fourth quarter deficit but were thwarted in the frantic final minutes.

Six-time All-Star <a href="https://www.wionews.com/tags/jayson-tatum">Jayson Tatum</a> scored 36 points for the Celtics, showing no sign of the wrist injury that caused him to miss game two -- his first missed post-season game since he came into the league in 2017.
Boston's Derrick White drove for a finger roll layup to tie it at 91-91 with 2:31 remaining.&nbsp;But Wagner made back-to-back baskets to put Orlando back in front, 95-91 with 1:26 to play.
Boston pulled within two on White's dunk with 28.1 seconds left but Orlando held on, the Celtics unable to score on a final inbounds attempt with three-tenths of a second left.
"High intensity," Banchero said of the final few possessions. "I love moments like these."
With Banchero leading the way, the Magic erased an early eight-point deficit to lead 31-27 after the opening period.&nbsp;But Boston used a 14-0 scoring run in the second quarter to regain the lead, Tatum delivering eight straight points in the spurt and Jaylen Brown capping the first half with a three-pointer that pushed Boston's lead to 59-49 at the break.
The Celtics couldn't press the advantage, however, the Magic producing a run of their own in a third quarter in which they out-scored the Celtics 24-11.
Boston had 21 turnovers leading to 26 Orlando points and they connected on just nine of their 27 three-point attempts.&nbsp;"It was just a great team effort," Banchero said. "We knew it was going to be a hell of a game at home. We wanted to get the win, have a chance to tie it up 2-2. We're excited for the opportunity."
In Milwaukee, two-time NBA Most Valuable Player Giannis Antetokounmpo and Gary Trent Jr. scored 37 points apiece for the Bucks.
<h2>A needed win</h2>
Trent drilled nine three-pointers on 12 attempts -- equalling the Bucks record for treys in a playoff game set by Ray Allen.&nbsp;"It's a testament to my hard work, a testament to my teammates finding me," Trent said. "It's a blessing -- we needed this win to continue to keep going."
Trent's performance helped the Bucks rally from a 10-point halftime deficit. They out-scored the Pacers 39-18 in the third quarter to take control, leading by as many as 20 in the fourth.
Pascal Siakam led the Pacers with 28 points while Tyrese Haliburton had 14 points and 10 assists.&nbsp;Both the Bucks and Magic will try to level their series on Sunday.&nbsp;In the day's final game, the Minnesota Timberwolves hosted the Los Angeles Lakers in game three of their Western Conference series, after the teams split the first two games in Los Angeles.

Miami Heat, which recovered from a 10-game losing streak in March to reach the play-in, will now face top-seeded Cleveland Cavaliers in the opening round of the playoffs.

But the Hawks fought back superbly, taking the lead 91-88 with 7:36 left.&nbsp;Atlanta then opened up a 98-92 advantage before Miami came back again only for Trae Young to level the game with 1.1 seconds remaining after a driving lay-up.

NBA: Miami Heat and Memphis Grizzlies take final spots in playoffs

Tyler Herro scored 38 points as the Miami Heat cruised past the Chicago Bulls 109-90 to keep their NBA playoffs hopes alive on Wednesday.
<h2>Miami stay in hunt for Playoff</h2>
Miami point guard Herro led from the front in a wire-to-wire victory that eliminated Chicago from postseason contention and sends the Heat into a winner-take-all clash against the Atlanta Hawks on Friday.
The winner of Friday's Miami-Atlanta game will advance to the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs, where they will face No. 1 seed Cleveland.&nbsp;
"We just came out in attack mode," Herro told ESPN after Wednesday's win. "We had a couple of days off since the last game -- myself, my teammates and the coaching staff put in a lot of work and it paid off.&nbsp;
"We've got one more to go. The job is not done yet, just to get in the playoffs. So we've got a long way to go.
"We have a bunch of guys who come in every day, put their hard hats on and they work. The season hasn't exactly gone how we wanted it to, but we continue to get better. There's a lot to look forward to."
Herro was backed by 20 points from Andrew Wiggins, while Bam Adebayo and Davion Mitchell scored 15 points apiece.
Australian international Josh Giddey led Chicago's scorers with 25 points.
Wednesday's win marked the third season in a row that Chicago have been eliminated from the play-in tournament by Miami.
Miami, who finished 10th in the Eastern Conference regular season standings, were always in control after making a fast start against a surprisingly lackluster Chicago line-up.

Herro did most of the early damage, scoring from his first eight attempts to pour in 16 points in a 39-28 first quarter that left Miami in control at Chicago's United Center.
A dominant second quarter -- Miami outscoring Chicago 32-19 -- left the Heat leading 71-47 with the Bulls seemingly powerless to halt the flow of Heat scoring.
Although Chicago rallied in the third quarter, outscoring Miami 27-17, it was too little too late and the Heat closed out a comfortable win in the fourth.

Miami Heat scorch Chicago Bulls to keep NBA playoff dream alive

Hailey Van Lith was a sure pick ahead of Monday's (Apr 14) WNBA Draft 2025. The TCU guard was the the 11th pick overall by Chicago Sky as she looks forward to begin her journey as a professional. In her last college basketball season, she helped Horned Frogs to their first ever Elite Eight - cementing her status as future star.
Van Lith spent her college years at Louisville, LSU and TCU. She played for Louisville from 2020-23, LSU in 2023-25 and TCU in 2024-25 seasons. Overall, she played 172 college basketball games and averaged 15.2 points, 4.1 rebounds and 3.4 assists per game with a field goal percentage of 42.2.

In TCU's historic run this season, Van Lith was a cornerstone as she averaged 17.9 points, 4.6 rebounds, and 5.4 assists per game.
It was, however, her appearance on the Orange Carpet of the draft which turned all the head. Dressed in a shimmering, sleek black mini dress which she paired with black heels and a matching clutch. What enhanced her looks for was her side-swept waves along with the confidence she exuberated.

<h2>Sedona Prince from TCU goes undrafted</h2>
Sedona, 24, was in chatter ahead of the draft which took place on Monday (Apr 14) but her name wasn't even called out for a team to show any interest.
Prince somewhat has been a limelight figure for various reasons including her social media posts about gender equity, alleged physical abuse and a landmark antitrust lawsuit to get money for the college athletes.
Sedona started her career with Texas for her freshman year before transferring to Oregon for 2019-20 season onwards. She graduated from Oregon in 2022 and joined TCU for 2023-2025.
The baller, however, has been involved in some controversies as well. Four women have accused her of misconduct and two out of those allegations are about sexual misconduct.&nbsp;

WNBA Draft: Too controversial or too old? 24-year-old Sedona Prince from TCU goes undrafted

Luka Doncic shrugged off the raw emotion of his return to Dallas with a dazzling 45-point display against his former club as the Los Angeles Lakers downed the Mavericks 112-97 to punch their ticket to the NBA playoffs on Wednesday.
Doncic, who joined the Lakers from Dallas in February in one of the most shocking trades in NBA history, was given a rousing reception by Mavs fans packed into the American Airlines Center to pay tribute to their former hero.

A pre-game video montage was screened in the arena just before Doncic was introduced to the sellout crowd of 20,841 fans, many wearing t-shirts bearing the words "Thanks for Everything", written in the 26-year-old's native Slovenian.&nbsp;
Doncic visibly teared up as he watched the tribute, and looked distraught as he was comforted by Lakers team-mate LeBron James moments before tip-off.
But after that emotional pre-game ceremony, Doncic quickly snapped into game mode, swiftly getting into his scoring groove to give Mavericks fans a painful reminder of the generational talent that was traded away by the club.
Doncic scored 14 in the first quarter alone, and added a further 17 in the second period to help the Lakers into a 60-57 half-time lead.
Doncic's rate of scoring slowed in the second half, leaving James to produce a trademark fourth quarter burst to close out victory.
But there was still time for Doncic to sign off in style, nailing an imperious three-pointer to push the Lakers into a 108-94 lead shortly before exiting the game to a standing ovation.
The applause swiftly morphed into chants of "Fire Nico" -- a reference to the Dallas general manager Nico Harrison who has been roundly criticised by Mavs for engineering the trade which sent Doncic to Los Angeles in exchange for Anthony Davis.
<h2>'So many emotions'</h2>
Doncic later admitted he had struggled to maintain his composure during the pre-game ceremony.
"I don't know how I did it because when I was watching that video I was like 'There's no way I'm playing this game'," he told ESPN. "But all my teammates had my back and were really supporting me.
"There were so many emotions I can't even explain. It brought tears to my eyes. I came here as a young kid, aged 18, and they made me feel like it was home. Just a lot of great memories.
"I love these fans, I love this city but it's time to move on."
The victory means the Lakers, who improved to 49-31, can clinch third seed in the Western Conference if they win one of their final two regular-season games.
Doncic's 45 points included seven three-pointers from 16-of-28 shooting, while James finished with 27 points, seven rebounds and three assists.&nbsp;
In other games on Wednesday, the battle for playoff places in the Western Conference took an unexpected twist with the already-eliminated San Antonio Spurs scoring an upset 114-111 win over the Golden State Warriors in San Francisco.
Harrison Barnes' 27-foot buzzer-beating three-pointer snatched victory for San Antonio, who had trailed by 12 points at the start of the fourth quarter.
The defeat leaves Golden State's hopes of grabbing one of the three remaining playoff spots in the Western Conference in a precarious position. The Warriors dropped out of the top six with the loss.
Elsewhere, the Denver Nuggets' first game since the shock firing of coach Michael Malone on Tuesday saw the team halt their four-game losing streak with a 124-116 defeat of the Sacramento Kings. Denver are fourth in the standings with a 48-32 record.
The red-hot Los Angeles Clippers continued their march up the table after extending their winning streak to six games with a 134-117 win over the Houston Rockets, who have already clinched second place in the West. The Clippers (47-32) are fifth, with Memphis sixth.

Luka Doncic fights through emotions in Dallas as LA Lakers beat Mavs for playoff spot

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander scored 42 points as the Oklahoma City Thunder bounced back to defeat the Los Angeles Lakers 136-120 on Tuesday in a hard-fought battle that saw Luka Doncic controversially ejected in the fourth quarter.
Two days after suffering a 27-point defeat to the Lakers, the No.1-ranked Thunder avenged that loss thanks to Gilgeous-Alexander's 13th 40-point game of the season, with Jalen Williams adding 26 and Lugentz Dort 17.

The contest pivoted on the fourth quarter incident that led to the Lakers' Slovenian star Doncic picking up a second technical foul and being tossed from the game.
Doncic was ejected following a one-handed jump shot which put the Lakers 108-107 up with 7min 40sec remaining after officiating crew member J.T. Orr judged he had been verbally abused by the player following the bucket.
Doncic protested, arguing he had merely been responding to a fan at courtside who had heckled him, but the decision stood and clearly rattled the Lakers, allowing the Thunder to seize the initiative and pull away for victory.
"It was a great game that unfortunately didn't get the finish that I think every basketball fan would want because of some decision making on some individuals' parts," Lakers coach J.J. Redick said.
LeBron James, who finished with 28 points, was at a loss to explain Doncic's ejection.
"I don't know why the ref was taking it personal," James told reporters. "The ref took it upon himself to think it was versus him. The game was just weird as hell after that."
Doncic insisted he had not been trash-talking Orr. "It was nothing to do with the ref, so I didn't really understand it," Doncic said. "It was tough, but you know that's on me too. I can't let my team down like that."
The Lakers remain in third place with a 48-31 record and need to win two of their remaining three regular-season fixtures to lock in third seeding in the Western Conference.
<h2>Cavs clinch no.1 seeding</h2>
The Cleveland Cavaliers clinched No.1 seeding in the NBA Eastern Conference playoffs after cruising past the Chicago Bulls 135-113.
Darius Garland led the scoring with 28 points in a balanced offensive performance from the Cavs, who improved to 63-16 to ensure they will finish the regular season on top of the East.
The victory ensures Cleveland will have home advantage when the playoffs get under way next week following the completion of the regular season on Sunday.
Garland was one of five Cleveland players to post double figures, with Evan Mobley adding 21 points with 12 rebounds and seven assists and Ty Jerome chipping in with 18 off the bench.
"You celebrate these moments," Cavaliers coach Kenny Atkinson said. "I think the guys are super happy in that locker room. We've had some ups and downs this past month, but I'm really proud of the guys.
"It's hard to win 63 games in this league, and it's hard to be the first seed. So great accomplishment. We're hungry for more."&nbsp;
Elsewhere in the Eastern Conference, the second-seeded Boston Celtics edged the third placed New York Knicks in a thriller at Madison Square Garden, with Jayson Tatum's 32-point performance guiding the NBA champions to a 119-117 overtime victory.
Back in the Western Conference playoff race, where six teams are vying for the remaining four automatic playoff berths, the Minnesota Timberwolves suffered a potentially costly 110-103 defeat on the road to the Milwaukee Bucks.&nbsp;
The result leave Minnesota on 46-33 and outside the top six places in the West.
The Memphis Grizzlies boosted their chances of playoff qualification with a 124-100 win over the Charlotte Hornets on the road.&nbsp;
The win lifted Memphis into fifth place in the table with a 47-32 record.
The game was overshadowed by a scary injury to Grizzlies rookie Jaylen Wells, who was stretchered off the court after landing heavily following a foul by K.J. Simpson.&nbsp;
US media reported Wells was awake and alert and nursing a broken wrist following the incident.&nbsp;

The NBA fined Memphis Grizzlies star Ja Morant $75,000 on Friday for making an imaginary gun gesture to celebrate a basket—his second time doing so within a week.

Dumars labeled the act as "inappropriate," especially considering Morant’s past suspensions in 2023 related to real firearm incidents.

NBA fines Memphis Grizzlies' Ja Morant for imaginary gun gesture

Stephen Curry scored 37 points as the Golden State Warriors outdueled LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers 123-116 to claim a crucial victory in their blockbuster Western Conference clash on Thursday.
Curry -- fresh from scoring 52 points in the Warriors' defeat of Memphis on Tuesday -- produced a trademark burst of third-quarter scoring to take the game away from the Lakers down the stretch.

Brandin Podziemski also caught fire for Golden State, making eight-of-10 attempts from three-point range in a 28-point performance that helped the Warriors roll to their fourth straight win.
The Lakers were led by the 40-year-old James with 33 points while Austin Reaves finished with 31 points including nine three-pointers in a frenetic finish in the fourth quarter.
"We've set a goal of trying to lift our level of play, preparing hopefully for a playoff series," Curry told TNT television.&nbsp;
"We know every game matters down the stretch. The intensity has been crazy but that's what you love -- having something to play for is special."
The victory edged Golden State closer to securing an automatic playoff berth, leaving them fifth in the standings with a 45-31 record. The Lakers remain in fourth place at 46-30, just behind third-placed Denver (47-30).
<h2>Wolves, Grizzlies win</h2>
The Warriors and Lakers are locked in a furious six-way battle for the four remaining automatic playoff berths available in the Western Conference.
Two of the other teams vying for a top-six finish -- the Minnesota Timberwolves and Memphis Grizzlies -- scored important wins.
The Grizzlies halted a four-game losing skid after Ja Morant's buzzer-beater secured a 110-108 road victory against the Miami Heat.
Morant finished with 30 points -- 27 of them coming in the second half -- to give Memphis a win which leaves them in sixth place in the West with a 45-32 record.
Morant said his flurry of second-half points had been fired by a hostile Miami crowd who booed him throughout.
"The crowd booing me -- they just woke me up for the second half," Morant said. "It feels good to get back in the win column, we've just got to keep it rolling."
In New York, Minnesota overcame an injury scare to Anthony Edwards before easing to a 105-90 win against the Brooklyn Nets.
Edwards needed to be helped from the court after rolling an ankle when he landed on the foot of Nets coach Jordi Fernandez standing at courtside during the second quarter.
The Wolves ace returned in the second half and finished with 28 points in a win that keeps Minnesota firmly in the hunt in the playoff race.
In Philadelphia, the Milwaukee Bucks stayed on course for the postseason with a 126-113 defeat of the already eliminated 76ers thanks to an imperious triple-double performance from Giannis Antetokounmpo.
The Bucks' Greek star finished with 35 points, 17 rebounds and 20 assists on a night when seven Milwaukee players finished in double figures.
Milwaukee coach Doc Rivers left the game late in the first half after falling ill, leaving assistant Darvin Ham to take over for the remainder of the contest.
"He just tapped me on the shoulder and said 'You got it from here man, my stomach is messed up,'" Ham said afterwards.&nbsp;
"Next man up, next men up. That's why you build a good crew."
The win keeps Milwaukee in fifth place in the Eastern Conference with a 42-34 record.

Stephen Curry scored 52 points and Draymond Green added a triple-double as the Golden State Warriors clinched a crucial 134-125 victory over the Memphis Grizzlies on Tuesday.
Curry, the NBA's all-time leader in three-point shooting, once again demonstrated his long-range prowess, draining 12-of-20 attempts from outside the arc at Memphis's FedExForum.
Also Read: <a class="gh-archive-page-post-title-link" href="https://www.wionews.com/sports/where-to-watch-new-york-yankees-vs-arizona-diamondbacks-live-streaming-tv-channels-game-info-8914736" aria-label="Where to Watch New York Yankees vs Arizona Diamondbacks: Live Streaming, TV Channels &amp; Game Info">Where to Watch New York Yankees vs Arizona Diamondbacks: Live Streaming, TV Channels &amp; Game Info</a>
The 37-year-old's dazzling shooting performance helped the Warriors vault over the Grizzlies into fifth place in the Western Conference standings, edging them closer to an automatic playoff berth.
The Warriors improved to 44-31 while the Grizzlies dropped to sixth place with a 44-32 record. The top six finishers in the West qualify automatically for the postseason.
Curry's masterpiece -- his second 50-point game of the season and the 15th of his career -- was backed by a triple from defensive linchpin Green and 27 points from Jimmy Butler.
Green finished with 13 points, 10 rebounds and 12 assists.
Warriors coach Steve Kerr lavished praise on Curry's virtuoso display that has left Golden State firmly on course for the playoffs.
"The guy's 37 years old, it's incredible," Kerr said. "Fifty-two points with people draped all over him all game long. The conditioning, the skill, the audacity, the belief, it's incredible to watch Steph at work.
"I can't believe he's still doing this at this age. But he's put the work in and he's still got it."
Grizzlies interim coach Tuomas Iisalo, who took over the team last week following the shock dismissal of Taylor Jenkins, was similarly effusive of Curry's performance.
<h2>'Sight to behold'</h2>
"It's a sight to behold how he operates," Iisalo said, revealing that the team had been helpless to stop a first-quarter onslaught from Curry that included 19 points.
"In the first quarter we had a specific strategy that we do not want him to get three-point shots -- and he found a way to get going anyway. It's very hard to stop a player of that caliber.
"Once he gets into that zone, it's very difficult to get him. I mean, we're talking about the best movement shooter of all time."
Memphis, who trailed by as many as 17 points in the first quarter, were left ruing their inability to sustain a second-half rally which saw them open up a four-point lead with just under four minutes remaining.
Ja Morant led the Grizzlies' scoring with 36 points while Jaren Jackson Jr. added 22.
"Everybody's hurting in that locker room right now," Iisalo said. "It really hurts when you put everything on the line and you come up a little short. But that's life, that's sports."
Elsewhere, Giannis Antetokounmpo scored 37 points as the Milwaukee Bucks snapped a four-game losing streak with a 133-123 victory over the Phoenix Suns.
Devin Booker scored 39 points for Phoenix but it was not enough to prevent the Suns from falling to a fourth consecutive defeat -- a late-season mini-slump that has imperiled their playoff hopes.
The Suns are now in 11th place in the West with a 35-41 record, trailing the 10th-placed Sacramento Kings (36-39). Teams ranked 7th to 10th in the conference standings advance to a four-team play-in tournament that determines the final two playoff tickets.
The Indiana Pacers became the latest team to clinch their playoff place after the Atlanta Hawks slumped to a 127-113 home defeat to the Portland Trail Blazers.&nbsp;
The result ensured that the Pacers, fourth in the Eastern Conference with a 44-31 record, are guaranteed a top-six finish.

<h2>Stacking games</h2>
Isaiah Joe came off the bench to score 31 points -- leading seven Thunder players to score in double figures as Oklahoma City improved to 28-1 against Eastern Conference opponents -- the NBA record for most wins by a team against an opposing conference.

The Indiana Pacers rallied from 16 points down in the third quarter to beat the Sacramento Kings 111-109 and maintain their grip on fourth place in the East.

Boston Celtics, Oklahoma City Thunder win to keep winning streaks alive

Donovan Mitchell led from the front as the Cleveland Cavaliers bagged their 60th win of the NBA season with a 127-122 victory over the in-form Los Angeles Clippers on Sunday.
Cleveland talisman <a href="https://www.wionews.com/tags/donovan-mitchell">Donovan Mitchell</a> finished with 24 points, 12 rebounds and seven assists in what Cavs coach Kenny Atkinson described as his best performance of the season.
Sunday's victory means Cleveland have reached 60 wins in a season for the first time since the 2009-2010 campaign, and for only the third time in franchise history.&nbsp;More significantly, the win leaves Cleveland 4.5 games clear of NBA champions Boston in the race for the No.1 seeding in the Eastern Conference playoffs with just seven regular season fixtures remaining.

Atkinson said reaching 60 wins was beyond his expectations at the start of the campaign following a 48-victory season in 2023-2024.
"I didn't expect 60 wins," Atkinson said. "My internal goal was 'Can we improve from last year?' That was kind of where my mind was.
"But for this team to take it to another level and kind of shatter that, says a lot. And we're not done -- we can still add to that.&nbsp;"But we've got to celebrate this. It's not the end goal, but we should take a deep breath and celebrate 60 wins.
"It's so hard to do in this league. I'm really happy for the guys today."&nbsp;Mitchell received offensive support from Jarrett Allen with 25 points, while Evan Mobley added 22 and Darius Garland 19.
<h2>'Best game' of season</h2>
But Atkinson reserved special praise for Mitchell, who was immense at both ends of the court, with four steals in addition to his points tally.&nbsp;"He's at that kind of maturity and mental level where he can manipulate the game how he wants it," Atkinson said of the 28-year-old six-time NBA All-Star.

NBA, Sports: Cleveland talisman Mitchell finished with 24 points, 12 rebounds and 7 assists in what Cavs coach Kenny Atkinson described as his best performance of season

Donovan Mitchell led from the front as the Cleveland Cavaliers bagged their 60th win of the NBA season with a 127-122 victory over the in-form Los Angeles Clippers on Sunday. Cleveland talisman Donovan Mitchell finished with 24 points, 12 rebounds and seven assists in what Cavs coach Kenny Atkinson described as his best performance of the season. Sunday's victory means Cleveland have reached 60 wins in a season for the first time since the 2009-2010 campaign, and for only the third time in franchise history. More significantly, the win leaves Cleveland 4.5 games clear of NBA champions Boston in the race for the No.1 seeding in the Eastern Conference playoffs with just seven regular season fixtures remaining. Also Read: Miami Open: Djokovic falls short of 100th career title as Czech teenager Jakub Mensik lifts title Atkinson said reaching 60 wins was beyond his expectations at the start of the campaign following a 48-victory season in 2023-2024. "I didn't expect 60 wins," Atkinson said. "My internal goal was 'Can we improve from last year?' That was kind of where my mind was. "But for this team to take it to another level and kind of shatter that, says a lot. And we're not done -- we can still add to that. "But we've got to celebrate this. It's not the end goal, but we should take a deep breath and celebrate 60 wins. "It's so hard to do in this league. I'm really happy for the guys today." Mitchell received offensive support from Jarrett Allen with 25 points, while Evan Mobley added 22 and Darius Garland 19. 'Best game' of season But Atkinson reserved special praise for Mitchell, who was immense at both ends of the court, with four steals in addition to his points tally. "He's at that kind of maturity and mental level where he can manipulate the game how he wants it," Atkinson said of the 28-year-old six-time NBA All-Star. "I would argue that this was probably his best all around game all year." The defeat left the Clippers in eighth position in the Western Conference, where they are locked in a ferocious dog-fight with the Golden State Warriors and Minnesota Timberwolves for an automatic ticket into the playoffs. The Clippers are on 42-32, just behind Golden State and Minnesota, who both won on Sunday.

NBA: Mitchell steals show as Cavs beat Clippers, double blow for Suns as Durant gets injured amid loss to Rockets

The NBA champion <a href="https://www.wionews.com/tags/boston-celtics">Boston Celtics</a> and Western Conference leaders Oklahoma City Thunder continued their march to the playoffs on Saturday as the LA Lakers bounced back with a win over the Memphis Grizzlies.
<a href="https://www.wionews.com/tags/jayson-tatum">Jayson Tatum</a> scored 29 points with 10 rebounds and eight assists to propel the Celtics to their eighth straight victory, 121-111 over the Spurs in San Antonio.
Tatum, back after missing one game with a sprained left ankle, led seven Boston players to score in double figures, Jrue Holiday adding 21 points in the triumph.&nbsp;The Thunder rolled to their ninth straight victory behind 33 points, seven rebounds and eight assists from Most Valuable Player contender Shai Gilgeous-Alexander.

Tyrese Haliburton scored 18 points for the Pacers, who led by 10 in the first quarter before the Thunder flipped the switch and cruised to a 132-111 victory.&nbsp;With eight games remaining Oklahoma City lead the Cleveland Cavaliers in the race for the best record in the league and home court advantage throughout the playoffs.
The Lakers, coming off an agonizing loss to the Bulls on Josh Giddey's buzzer-beater, claimed a key 134-127 victory over the Grizzlies that put them one game ahead of Memphis for fourth place in the West.
The Lakers spoiled the debut of interim Memphis coach Tuomas Iisalo, who took over on Friday when the Grizzlies abruptly sacked Taylor Jenkins.
Austin Reaves scored 31 points and handed out eight assists for Los Angeles, who let an early 20-point lead get away but managed to come back after the Grizzlies took a 111-107 lead early in the fourth quarter.
<a href="https://www.wionews.com/tags/luka-doncic">Luka Doncic</a> scored 29 points with eight rebounds and nine assists -- including a no-look pass to <a href="https://www.wionews.com/tags/lebron-james">LeBron James</a> for a dunk.
James finished with 25 points, six rebounds and eight assists and Lakers coach JJ Redick said he was pleased with the poise his players showed after falling behind in the fourth quarter.
Desmond Bane scored 29 points, Jaren Jackson Jr. added 24 and Ja Morant -- back from a six-game injury absence -- contributed 22 for Memphis, but the Grizzlies suffered their third loss to the Lakers this season, giving Los Angeles the tiebreaker edge if needed in the playoff race.
<h2>'High intensity'</h2>
"We knew this was a big game for us, in the sense of how we lost the other night," said Reaves, who converted a three-point play that pushed the Lakers' lead to nine points with 1:21 remaining.
"So coming into this game it's obviously high intensity," Reaves said. "And it's hard, last game of a road trip, you're pretty excited to go home. But for that three hours or whatever the game is you've got to lock in."
The Dallas Mavericks held off the Bulls 120-119 in Chicago to strengthen their position in the three-team battle with Phoenix and Sacramento for the last two places in the Western Conference play-in tournament.
Klay Thompson scored 20 points, P.J. Washington added 19 and Anthony Davis chipped in 18 for the Mavs, who led by 12 points with less than three minutes to play only for the Bulls to close within two.
A pair of free throws from Thompson restored a four-point cushion and the Mavs escaped.&nbsp;The Kings, meanwhile, fell 121-91 to the Magic in Orlando where Paolo Banchero scored 24 points in three quarters for the Magic -- who are neck and neck with Atlanta for seventh place in the East.
The Bulls' defeat left them level on 33-41 with the Miami Heat as they jockey for position in the Eastern Conference play-in.&nbsp;The Heat, fueled by 30 points from Tyler Herro, notched their fourth straight victory, 118-95 over a Philadelphia 76ers team already out of playoff contention.
