The Miami Heat (44-23), on the first leg of a back-to-back, is seeking a bounce back performance against the Cleveland Cavaliers (38-27) Friday at FTX Arena in their final matchup of the season.
Miami, who’s won 12 of its last 15, is looking to get Wednesday’s ugly taste out of their mouth — when they fell 111-90 to the Phoenix Suns, the best team in the NBA, snapping their four-game home win streak. Cleveland’s in the midst of a two-game win streak after losing six of seven. Their most recent win came on Tuesday in a tight 127-124 victory over the Indiana Pacers.
