Much has been made of the Wine & Gold’s youth movement this season, and no doubt the youngsters have been impressive. But the lynchpin of Cleveland’s Monday night victory over Miami was the squad’s senior citizen.
Kevin Love, the oldest and longest-tenured Cavalier, shot down the Heat on Monday – netting all of his season-high 23 points after intermission, leading Cleveland to its fourth straight win, a 105-94 decision at Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse.
The victory – the Cavs’ second over the shorthanded Heat in less than two weeks – is also Cleveland’s eighth in its last ten outings, each of those wins by double-digits.
