A fourth quarter run by the Miami Heat allowed them to pull away from the Cleveland Cavaliers and earn a 107-91 win over Cleveland.Antawn Jamison paced Cleveland with 25 points,20 of those in the first half.
The Cavaliers host the Los Angeles Clippers in the first of a nine day homestand.
This will be a shorter wrapup than usual as the game against the Clippers will start shortly.
Swashbucklings
1) Alonzo Gee finally received his chance to start,but not ahead of Omri Casspi at small forward.
Instead,Gee was the starter at shooting guard with the release of Mychel Thompson along with the injury problems at the two guard,Gee was the obvious choice.
Gee finished with a slam or two per usual and finished with a solid 17 points...
2) Kyrie Irving finished with 16 points,but most were on the driving lane as the jumper was not falling on a 5 for 15 evening...
3) 16 points from the six bench players,9 from Ramon Sessions.
I realize things are slim from the pine right now,but that is pretty light.
4) Christian Eyenga played twenty minutes in his first action since returning from Canton.
Eyenga did not score,but had a very impressive block and looked solid on the defensive end,which is where he needed plenty of work.
5) Miami wore the ABA tribute unis from the Miami Floridians of the defunct league.
Usually I love these,but these particular ones?Not so much.
