On Wednesday, the short -handed heat will look to leave Cavaliers its fourth loss in the last five matches when the team is reintroduced in Florida.
On December 8, Tyler Herro scored 34 points, Duncan Robinson had 23 and Jimmy Butler added 18 when Miami recorded a victory 122-113 over Cleveland.
However, Butler will not look up for this game and potentially ever again for the heat after being suspended by the club for the third time in a month – all for behavior that is harmful to the team. His indefinite ban is expected to extend past the NBA trade deadline from February 6.
“It feels like normal now, at this time,” said heat guard Tyler Herro about the team’s concern, Per Miami Herald. “It’s kind of what it is. Nothing is guaranteed, so we just have to be ready to roll with all the cards we’ve treated. We just have to be ready to go.”
Herro has played the hero in back-to-back games for heat. He collected 25 points and eight assists in a victory 106-97 over Brooklyn Nets on Saturday and 30 and a season high 12, respectively, in a 125-119 victory in double overtime against Orlando Magic on Monday.
Bam Adebayo made 10 out of 15 shots on Monday before he fell an assist shy for a triple. He contributed 26 points, 10 returns and nine assists versus magic.
“We have been in many situations over the past year – yes, this year – so I mean, it shows through all the noise and chaos, we can still win,” said Adebayo. “We can still meet and be a good team and believe in each other and still compete because at the end of the day, as I have said before, the game must still be played no matter what happens in the organization. We still have to play games, and they expect still that we win. ”
Cavaliers have done more than their fair proportion of winning this season and grew victorious in 33 of their first 37 matches. They dropped five of their subsequent eight-inclusive one seasonal three in the line-in-one they published a victory of 110-91 over the Detroit Pistons on Monday.
Darius Garland scored 22 points and Donovan Mitchell added 21 for Cleveland, who rose defensively to improve to 22-3 at home in the season. Cavaliers held the piston to a season-low 91 points of 38.5 percent shooting from the floor and 27.8 percent from 3-point intervals.
“I think we made a statement defensively,” said Max Strus Per Cleveland.com. “When things are not going well, this group takes type personal and has the resilience to bounce back. I am proud of how we answered in our effort (Monday evening) at that end of the floor. Of course, we were not even so good offensively, but do not need when we protect so well. ”
Mitchell, who, on average, is a team best 23.7 points per match, will make sure to reconcile a 5-for-16 sliding screen in the previous meeting versus heat.
