Cleveland- Most every basketball game is divided into to two halves, usually divided by halftime. That was not the case on Tuesday night, as the Cavaliers and Heat match-up was divided into the first quarter, and the other three quarters.
After the game the Cavs locker room saw things change after the first quarter. Holding a 23-22 lead after the first, the Cavaliers were outscored 95-69 in the last three quarters. This was all in en route to another blowout loss (118-94) for the (8-30) Cavaliers.
Tristan Thompson returned Tuesday after missing the previous 10 games, but it didn’t matter as once again the Cavs offense struggled against Miami’s zone.
