The Miami Heat battle the Cleveland Cavaliers at the American Airlines Arena in the NBA regular season on March 17, 2015. Tip-off is at 8 p.m. ET, and the game can be watched online through live stream (details below).
Reuters/PhotoChristian Post Report – Having met twice already this season, both teams have won one each – with the home team getting the victory on both occasions.
Miami strolled to a 101-91 win in their first meeting in Florida, with LeBron James returning to his former team for the first time after leaving for the Cavs. In his return, King James scored a team high 30 points, shooting 9-of-16 from the field. He also had eight assists to help the team but had four turnovers and only shot 10-of-18 from the free throw line.
On the other side, Dwyane Wade led the Heat with a game high 31 points. He also pulled down five rebounds and dished out five assists in the victory. Luol Deng also scored 25, having a very efficient night after converting 69 percent of his attempts.
In their second meeting in Ohio, the Cavs turned things around and won 113-93.
Timofey Mozgov proved to be too much for the Heat defense as he drained 20 points while shooting 82 percent from the field. James came very close to notching a triple double with 18 points, 10 rebounds and seven assists on the night.
Wade was not around to play in that matchup but Deng shared 17 points in the losing effort. Mario Chalmers added 18, while Hassan Whiteside impressed with 17 points and 14 rebounds in only under 29 minutes of play.
Injuries may hamper this match-up from being star-studded as James and Kevin Love are slated as day-to-day following knocks in their win over the Orlando Magic.
For the Heat, Chris Bosh and Josh McRoberts have already been ruled out for the season.
