Dwyane Wade added yet another milestone to his already long list, surpassing the 20,000 point mark in the Heat’s win over the Cavs on Saturday night.
The Cleveland Cavaliers suffered another bad loss of more than 20 points as they were defeated by the Miami Heat on Saturday. The Cavs were fully healthy but they were playing their third game in four nights and looked lethargic and sluggish against the Heat. And with the playoffs just around the corner, a second-round matchup between the Cavs and Heat is very likely to occur. “I think we’ll be ready for it more”. And, the got the W with one of the best games this season!
After winning plenty of games and getting themselves into fourth spot in the east, the Heat have just struggled a little in the last fortnight losing three of their last six games. “It how you when or lose, and tonight we didn’t play with the biggest potential we could play with”.
Since James came back to Cleveland, the trips to Miami have not been pleasant.
In the meantime, James has raised his level of play since the All-Star break.in a career-low 34.8 minutes per game, he’s boosted his shooting (to 51.4 percent from 50.4 percent), his 3-point shooting (to 31.7 percent from 27.7 percent), and free throws (to 74.4 percent from 71.7 percent).
The Heat would go on to rule from there as the Cavs, who were playing on the second night of a back-to-back, hoisted the white flag on a 122-101 blowout. Luol Deng and Joe Johnson have reinvigorated Miami’s forward play, and Goran Dragic is smiling more than ever, enjoying the faster pace. The only other games were December 1 against Washington and January 18 against Golden State, when the Warriors went into Cleveland and embarrassed the Cavaliers in a one-sided rematch of last season’s NBA Finals.

“With LeBron James coming back here, they get up for the game”, Cavs coach Tyronne Lue said.
