Atlanta- A familiar story was written Friday night in Miami. The Cleveland Cavaliers lost to the Heat 118-94, American Airlines Arena has not been kind to Cleveland, a place they haven’t won in since 2010.
Things were competitive in the first half, but once again the Cavaliers doomed themselves by a disappointing 3rd quarter. Trailing by only four (56-52) heading into halftime, the Cavs got outscored by 11 points (26-17) out of the break. Watching the game it was obvious what the problem was, even when the Cavs were expecting it, the Heat zone gave Cleveland fits.
Eric Spolstra and company waited until after halftime to break into their 2-3 zone.
