Donovan Mitchell led the Cleveland Cavaliers to a commanding 126-106 victory over the Miami Heat on Wednesday night, pouring in 34 points and showcasing his offensive prowess. Ty Jerome provided a valuable spark off the bench, contributing 20 points to the Cavaliers' dominant performance. The Cavaliers never trailed throughout the game, establishing a clear lead from the outset.
Evan Mobley showcased his well-rounded abilities with 22 points and 15 rebounds, while Georges Niang chipped in 13 points and Jarrett Allen added 12 points and 10 rebounds. The Heat struggled to keep pace, despite solid performances from Tyler Herro and Terry Rozier, who each scored 22 points. Bam Adebayo contributed 21 points and Duncan Robinson added 13 for Miami. However, the Heat were out-rebounded 47-35, hindering their efforts to mount a comeback. The Cavaliers' victory extended their impressive record to 29-2 when holding opponents to 116 points or less. They are also undefeated at 33-0 when leading after three quarters. Cleveland's coach, Kenny Atkinson, opted to rest star guard Darius Garland, who averages 21.7 points per game, citing the need to prioritize his well-being. The Heat faced a challenging start, scoring only 41 points in the first half, tying their season low. They attempted to rally in the third quarter, outscoring the Cavaliers with 43 points, spearheaded by Herro's eight points in the final 40 seconds. The Heat managed to close the gap to eight points early in the fourth quarter. However, the Cavaliers responded with a decisive 7-0 run in just 44 seconds. Mitchell's three-pointer with 10:15 left effectively sealed the victory, extending the Cavaliers' lead to 101-86. The Cavaliers celebrated their sixth wire-to-wire win of the season, marking their first such victory on the road. The Heat, on the other hand, suffered their fourth defeat this season where they failed to lead at any point. The Cavaliers will continue their momentum with a three-game homestand, starting Thursday night against the Atlanta Hawks. The Heat will embark on a four-game road trip, beginning Saturday night at the San Antonio Spurs
