Cleveland Cavaliers vs. Miami Heat Game 3 Results According To NBA 2K25
According to our NBA 2K25 simulation, the Cleveland Cavaliers will defeat the Miami Heat in Game 3, 105-91. Cleveland got off to a hot start, and never looked back as they had a 22 point lead at the end of the third quarter. Miami tried to play catch up, but failed to make a dent in the Cavaliers' lead until the fourth quarter.
| TEAM | Quarter 1 | Quarter 2 | Quarter 3 | Quarter 4 | FINAL |
| CLE | 33 | 26 | 27 | 19 | 105 |
| MIA | 24 | 24 | 16 | 27 | 91 |
Donovan Mitchell was on fire, scoring 48 points while earning six rebounds, six assists, and three steals in the win. Nobody else on the roster scored more than 14 points, but that did not matter. Mitchell led his team to a swift and easy victory. We'll see if he can keep it up for Game 4 to end the series.
Andrew Wiggins led the Heat in points (27), while also earning four rebounds, two assists, and one steal. But nobody else on the team managed to score more than 17 points. Furthermore, Tyler Herro was extremely inaccurate, and that inaccuracy cost the team the game.
A bad start to both halves cost Miami dearly in this contest. Although they played better at the end of each half, they simply let Cleveland take too huge of a lead to overcome.

With the win, the Cavaliers take a 3-0 lead in the series. At this point, it looks less like a matter of if, but rather when Cleveland will win. Ideally, winning Game 4 means more time to rest and recover, which definitely helps before the Semi-Finals. But they still need to win one more game against a team with everything to lose.
As for the Heat, their season may now come to an end in just one more game. Although the team made it past the play-in, the fact of the matter is they're not ready to play against the Conference's best team. But who knows? The team still has a slim shot of making history with a wild comeback. But don't bet on that.
