The Cleveland Cavaliers are looking for a better result on Monday as they take on the Miami Heat. Their most recent matchup was Saturday, a 124-109 loss in Miami.
The Cleveland Cavaliers will get another shot at the Miami Heat. Maybe this time the universe will not be against them. Miami retired Dwyane Wade’s iconic number 3 during halftime of Cleveland’s lopsided loss on Saturday.
Kevin Love mossed the last meeting between the two teams. Love was dealing with some Achilles soreness, an issue that was present before the All-Star Break. Keeping Love out of the second game of a back-to-back when dealing this particular issue is in the best interest of everyone involved.
Miami was without both Jimmy Butler and Tyler Herro Saturday. That did not stop the Heat from holding a 30-point halftime over the Cavaliers. The final score was 124-109, but anyone who watched the game knew the 19-point difference in the final score is not an accurate representation of how that game went. Miami is in a completely different league when it comes to both offense and defense. Precision, decisiveness, communication. These are words that apply to the Heat and not the Cavaliers.
