The Cleveland Cavaliers have had a historic 2024-25 NBA season on many levels. From the team's multiple winning streaks, to their talented backcourt, this Cavaliers roster continues to enter the record books seemingly every night.

The Cavaliers, however, have their sights set on bringing back the Larry O'Brien Trophy to Cleveland for the first time since 2016.

They entered Monday night's Game 4 matchup against the Miami Heat with a dominant 3-0 series lead. Not only would the Cavaliers advance, they blew the doors off the Heat, winning by 55 points (138-83).

In the series-clinching game, the Cavaliers made 22 3-pointers, bringing their series total to 77 made 3-pointers. This is tied for the most in a four-game playoff series in NBA history.

The NBA took to their official X account to make the historic announcement immediately following the game's final buzzer.

The Cavaliers would go on to win the NBA championship that year, their first in franchise history. They made 258 total 3-pointers during the playoffs that season.
