Jimmy Butler and the Miami Heat host Darius Garland and the Cleveland Cavaliers on Sunday.
Just four days after the teams played one of the best games of the month, the Miami Heat (38-32) and the Cleveland Cavaliers (43-27) face-off again on Sunday. In that first game Cleveland built a small lead, looked like it was going to hold onto a huge win against an Eastern Conference playoff rival, but couldn’t hold on in the end. They went up 98-94 with just over two minutes to go behind an and-one bucket from Georges Niang and then two free throws from Caris LaVert. Miami then closed out the game on a 13-6 run to steal the game in the final seconds.

Despite the loss, Cleveland is still in third place in the Eastern Conference, as Darius Garland and the rest of the team try to navigate the final stretch of games without All-Star Donovan Mitchell who is out with a nasal injury.
Garland finished the game with 20 points and nine assists shooting 5-for-12 from three as one of five players in double-figures. Jarrett Allen (25 points and 20 rebounds), Niang (18 points), LaVert (16 points and 12 assists) and Sam Merrill (12 points off the bench) all finished in double-figures.
Miami was led by Butler who led all scorers with 30 points, five assists and four steals in the win. Terry Rozier had one of his best games with the team, scoring 24 points on 5-of-6 shooting from three, hitting clutch shots and free throws down the stretch to help Miami come out with a win over a playoff contender ahead of them in the standings.
