The Miami Heat continue a four-game road trip as they visit the Cleveland Cavaliers. Miami (29-21) is only one-half game back from the Cavs (29-20) for third place in the Eastern Conference. This game is critical not only for the time being, but also because the Heat and Cavs only play three times this season. Cleveland has already won the first, and so this is a must-win for Miami if they hope to have a tie-breaker against them.
The Heat started their road trip with a win on Monday in Dallas. Last night, the Cavaliers lost to the Detroit Pistons on the road, and in the process also lost Kevin love to a hand injury.
