Three Keys: Cavaliers vs. Heat

On Monday night, the Cavaliers try to avoid the season sweep when they play the second half of a home-and-home matchup against the Heat at Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse.

On Saturday night in their NBA house of horrors, the Cavaliers fell for the 18th straight occasion on South Beach, dropping the lopsided 124-109 decision at AmericanAirlines Arena – a streak that extends to January 2010. The Heat canned their first nine shots, scored 38 points in the first quarter, 44 more in the second and took a 30-point lead into the halftime locker room.

Things didn’t get much better in the second stanza, although Cleveland’s second unit did cut Miami’s lead in half in the closing moments.
