The second unit of the Miami Heat struggled mightily in the second quarter, as the Cleveland Cavaliers outscored them by 11 points to take a lead by the same margin. Going into the locker room, the Cavs lead the Heat by a score of 53-42. LeBron James put up great numbers in the first quarter, but didn’t produce a single point in the second despite playing for seven minutes. Dwyane Wade heated up in the second and scored 10 points, but both Chris Bosh and Mike Bibby have been poor at both ends of the floor, while their bench produced very little.
Heat Vs. Cavaliers Score: Poor Second Quarter From Miami Has Cleveland Leading Big At Halftime
Surprisingly, Luke Harangody was the story of the second half with a great performance off the bench. Cleveland were also aided by some more good minutes from Baron Davis, who hit a three point shot at the buzzer to extend the lead to 11 points. It seems like it’s only a matter of time before Miami puts together a run and takes control of the game, but Cleveland are playing an intense game. It wouldn’t be too shocking, based on tonight’s events, if they were able to hold on to their lead.
