The Cavs weren’t able to pull out close games in New York and OKC. The late-game execution, and lack of spacing, was partly to blame for that. Cleveland shot 4-13 from the field against the Knicks in the final two minutes with the closing lineup of Darius Garland, Donovan Mitchell, Isaac Okoro, Evan Mobley and Jarrett Allen.
Cleveland Cavaliers forward Kevin Love (back) was back at team practice on Monday, per team reporter Evan Dammarell. Love missed the team’s previous three games, but it sounds like he should be good to go in time for Tuesday’s matchup with the Miami Heat. Back spasms have been the ailment troubling him since December, forcing him to miss a combined five games this season.
The Miami Heat’s four-game road trip got off to a horrible start with a 122-117 loss to a Charlotte Hornets team that is 21 games below . Although Miami has some bad performances this season — home losses to the Detroit Pistons and San Antonio Spurs come to mind — this one ranks up there. Tomorrow night, the Heat face the team right above them in the standings — the Cleveland Cavaliers.
