A Cavaliers veteran sent a key text message to a group thread for the team that reminded them of the job at hand. What followed was a historic win.

Kenny Atkinson didn’t need a few months, or a few weeks, or even a few games before figuring out the potential of the Cleveland Cavaliers. He needed two practices.

The Cleveland Cavaliers, started their postseason journey against the Miami Heat and were dominant, completing a series sweep on Monday with a 138-83 victory in Miami in Game 4. That came on the heels of another blowout, a 124-87 win in Game 3 on Saturday. Games 3 and 4 marked the two worst playoff losses in Miami franchise history.
