The Cavs loss to the Heat was a footnote to Monday night’s news: Andrew Bogut broke his tibia when he collided with Okaro White’s knee 58 seconds after he entered the game. Cleveland had a hard time competing with Miami again, especially when LeBron was off the floor. The wine and gold were outscored by 22 in the 9 minutes LeBron was on the bench.
LeBron finished with 30 points, 17 rebounds, six assists, and +14 in 39 minutes. Kyrie dropped 32, seven, and three, but was complicit in the Cavs’ complete inability to stop the pick-and-roll or basic dribble penetration (his teammates weren’t much better).
