to add 18, leading the Cleveland Cavaliers to a 149-128 win over the Miami Heat on Friday night in the second matchup between the teams in three days. Strus made six of his eight 3-pointers in a 22-point first half as the Cavs bolted to a 35-point lead.
He made one just ahead of the halftime horn to put Cleveland ahead 81-46 and cap the team’s highest scoring half this season.Allen’s return provided a major spark. He missed 10 games with tendinitis in his knee. The 27-year-old’s absence especially hurt on defense and deprived him time to build chemistry with star guard James Harden, whose acquisition at the trade deadline has raised title hopes. Harden finished with 17 points and 14 assists, his most with Cleveland. Donovan Mitchell scored just six on 1 of 10 shooting. Down by 36, the Heat fought back and got within 101-82 on a 3-pointer by Jamie Jaquez Jr. But Cleveland regrouped and Keon Ellis drilled a 3-pointer at the buzzer to give the Cavaliers a comfortable 109-87 lead entering the fourth.The loss dropped Miami from a three-way tie for the No. 8 spot in the Eastern Conference into 10th, behind Orlando and Charlotte, which were idle. Strus, who was playing in just his sixth game after foot surgery, made an immediate impact by making four 3-pointers in the last 4:37 of the first quarter to help the Cavs open a double-digit lead.Preliminary autopsy results revealed for American college student found dead in water in Spain15-year-old killed in North Avondale was considered a missing child, police sayDonovan Mitchell: ‘I definitely have confidence’ in CavsMitchell scores 42 as Cavaliers defeat Magic 136-131 to extend winning streak to 4 games
