07:55Russell
07:55Jalen Tyson's in the ball game and he fouls Norman Powell on the floor.
07:59And unfortunately that puts the Cavs over the limit and returns Norman Powell to the line.
08:09Powell's one of those players who just grinds away throughout the course of the night.
08:13You look up and he already has 16 points here in this first half.
08:18Five of five from the line with two more coming.
08:21Yeah. He's very efficient.
08:23И...
08:24Он возьмёт в своему усилию.
08:26Он в офисе не ошибся.
08:28Уменяй Paleо отмотит.
08:30Он в минимум с моментом.
08:31Он просто сможет играть.
08:33Да, он невинник для него!
08:35Красный игрок.
08:37Ириц Полстит разрыхаленного музея.

08:42И Валентин Кейм.

08:46Вейтинал.
08:47Тайсон
09:17Тайсон
09:47Joe
09:49Rob
09:49Got to keep an eye on at all
09:51Get that ball up.
09:52Get that shot up.
09:55Execute hard.
09:58Really create some space.
09:59Got a great better space on our
10:00offense but they're doing a good
10:02job of getting back in locking in
10:03and you know just sit sitting
10:05back without making people move
10:06like we normally do with our fall
10:07movement.
10:08It's a little bit stab at the
10:09night and that we're still
10:10really trying to figure out how
10:11to defend these guys.
10:13나는 dass
10:15Болстер places Jaime Хакез
10:17back into the ballgame.
10:20Митчел
10:21works in toward Хакез.
10:24Семобли-Стреин
10:26finds the momentum, took a bump,
10:27he puts it up, we play on,
10:29Хакез deals to a sprinting
10:31Davion Митчел. Митчел scurries
10:33into the forecourt, slings one over to Wiggins.
10:39They're not letting off, but all of them
10:41are relentless on that offensive end.
10:42Again, look at this defensive structure.
10:45They're on the interior.
10:47They're going to make the Cavaliers
10:48really, really play more one-on-one
10:50basketball than anything.
10:52Vigil splits a double.
10:53Merrill has to sky to keep that ball
10:55inbounds. Tyson lines up a three.
10:57Best ball movement we've had in the last
10:59five possessions, and it ends up with
11:00an excellent opportunity and a good shot
11:02by Jalen Tyson.
11:04Got to think about that. We're going at
11:05halftime. That's the discussion.
11:07Ball movement, and we've got to fit
11:08better, be more accountable
11:09individually.
11:11Powell, top shot.
11:13Credit Tyson defensively in the first
11:15half is over.
11:16Got to be more accountable on that
11:17defensive end, John.
11:18Everybody's got to pick up your man.
11:20You've got to man up, get after him,
11:21and then on the offensive end,
11:22we've got to bounce that ball,
11:23let it move.
11:24Ball movement, make the defense shift,
11:26get good shots.
11:27The Heat close the half on a 20-5 run
11:30is coming up on the Ken Ganley
11:31Kia halftime report.
11:33Brad's going to break down the first half,
11:34and we will hear from an assistant coach.
11:36You're watching Cavs Basketball
11:38on FanDuel Sports Network.
11:39joined by associate head coach,
11:50Johnny Bryant.
11:52Thanks, John.
11:53Coach, how do you think you handled their pace?
11:55They got out behind us in transition.
11:57We didn't do a good job with our transition defense
11:59early on the front end.
12:00We've got to clean it up on the defense end,
12:02and then we'll do a better job containing them
12:04in the half court.
12:05They put up 37 points in that second quarter.
12:07What besides the defense in transition
12:09do you want to see better there?
12:10Well, we've got to get them playing
12:11in the second half for the shot clock.
12:13The majority of their points have come
12:14in the first 12 seconds,
12:15so if we contain them in transition,
12:17then we'll be able to guard them in the second half.
12:19Appreciate it.
12:19Thank you.
12:20Guys.
12:21Yeah, he's exactly right.
12:22I mean, it's just a matter of being,
12:23like I said before we went to the half,
12:25you've got to be accountable on that defensive end,
12:26and now this is one of the times
12:28you challenge your guys,
12:29if you're Coach Atkinson,
12:30hey, you've got number nine,
12:33you've got number 45,
12:34you've got number 24.
12:35It's your job.
12:36It's your job to stay in front of him
12:38and stop him.
12:39You give it everything you've got
12:40to slow him down,
12:42and if he gets beat,
12:43then you've got great help in the back,
12:45and we're going to have to utilize that
12:46because they're spreading the floor
12:47out on the offensive end.
12:48It's making it hard.
12:49It is difficult to stay in front of these guys
12:51because they're shooting it so quick,
12:52and then on the offensive end,
12:53we just got to make some shots, John.
12:54We just are cold on the offensive end,
12:57and we've had wide-open looks,
12:58and it's just not going down.
13:0038% for the Cavs from the floor
13:02in the first half.
13:02Here we go in the third.
13:04Kenny did not look particularly pleased
13:06with his bunch in the first half.
13:09Let's see what we have here in the second
13:10as Mobley gets in the paint.
13:11He'll find Allen at the dunker spot
13:13as Jared Allen now has a team-high 14.
13:16Nicely done.
13:17Very easy and very patient offense
13:19by the Cavaliers.
13:20Again, we'll preach that patience
13:22against this high-powered,
13:24quick-shooting offense of the Miami Heat.
13:27You kind of get into these, you know,
13:29where you almost emulate what you're doing
13:31and what you're playing against.
13:32Be patient on the offensive end.
13:34Take your time.
13:35Get a good pass.
13:36Take advantage of your size and your ability.
13:38Nice pass by Donovan.
13:40Another nice pass.
13:41That's what we talked about
13:41going into the half again.
13:42Ball move.
13:43Look at that ball move.
13:44Make the Heat move their feet.
13:45I like that Heat move their feet.
13:48The Cavs launch 26 threes
13:51during the first half right out of the break.
13:55They go inside and find Mobley
13:57who finds Allen as De'Vion Mitchell connects.
14:01Heat 64, Cavaliers 55.
14:03Opening minute, third quarter.
14:05John Michael Brad Doherty and Serena Winters.
14:07Let's see if the Cavs can get it going
14:09here in this second half.
14:11Darius Garland works on De'Vion Mitchell.
14:13Hunter fires a three and knocks it down.
14:16We talked about it earlier, Brad.
14:18The Cavaliers two nights ago at home
14:20trailing the Bulls by 16 on a night
14:23when nothing really was going right
14:25in the first half.
14:26Ware floats it up and floats it in.
14:29The Cavaliers on the shoulders
14:31of Donovan Mitchell came roaring back
14:33as Mitchell scored 26 of his 29
14:36in the second half.
14:37There goes Mitchell counting.
14:38Goal 10 against McColl.
14:40And this is how they did it
14:42with Donovan Mitchell.
14:43Attacking that rip time and time again.
14:45Yeah, nice crossover by Donovan.
14:47Gets right in the heart of the defense.
14:48Nothing they can do.
14:50I think on the other hand,
14:51the concern would be we've given up
14:52two layups basically right out the back.
14:56And so Miami's making those little adjustments,
14:58trying to attack us and find some weak spots
15:00and not just shooting all those threes.
15:02Now they've changed up how they're attacking us
15:04as well.
15:05So really making it difficult.
15:07Give us different looks.
15:08Wiggins took only five shots in the first half.
15:11There he gets fouled by Mitchell.
15:15So Andrew Wiggins will shoot free throws.
15:20Wiggins, of course, was drafted number one overall
15:22by the Cavs back in 2014.
15:25Less than two months later,
15:26he was traded along with the number one overall pick
15:28the season before Anthony Bennett to Minnesota
15:31in the three-team deal that netted the Cavs.
15:34Kevin Love.
15:35Oh, wow.
15:36Yes, sir.
15:37Kenny knows this man's game well.
15:39During the Warriors' title run back in 21-22,
15:43Wiggins enjoyed the most efficient year of his career.
15:45He was named to his first All-Star game,
15:47and I'd argue that he was the Warriors'
15:50second-best player on the floor in the playoffs
15:52next to Steph Curry.
15:53He really was.
15:54He was so consistent.
15:55He scored at such a high face
15:57and bailed him out a lot of times
15:59when he was struggling
16:00or Steph was being double-teamed,
16:01which he always is.
16:02Wiggins was just that guy on the floor
16:04that could attack from all angles
16:06and put a lot of pressure on whomever they were playing.
16:10Probably to the elbow.
16:12Back he goes to Donovan Mitchell.
16:14Mitchell's three is off the bar
16:16and rebounded by where.
16:17Kenny Atkinson was part of Steve Kerr's staff
16:20with the Warriors for a couple of seasons
16:22who says Powell gets inside
16:24and gets fouled by Darius Garland.
16:29So Powell continues to attack.
16:33Darius does a good job
16:34defending him down into the post there,
16:35and I think he got him on the forearm.
16:38See, Powell's trying to post him up.
16:39He posts up a lot of guards.
16:41They have got him on the forearm there.
16:42Powell already has taken seven free throws.
16:52He's now eight for eight.
16:56Come on down to Rocket Arena on Thursday
16:59as the Cavs are back home to take on the Raptors.
17:01Tip time is at 7 o'clock.
17:03Head to Cavs.com slash tickets to secure seats
17:06and get ready to let him know
17:09there's always a party inside Rocket Arena.
17:12Yeah, man, a lot of fun.
17:14Fun the other night against Chicago.
17:16Places Rocket.
17:17That's a good ballgame, too.
17:18Man, so much fun.
17:20Ear-splitting at times.
17:21Yeah, man.
17:22You can always get your tickets at Cavs.com.
17:25We have an illegal screen.
17:26It's on the Cavaliers' DeAndre Hunter
17:28as Scott Foster said that Hunter
17:31shuffled his feet.
17:32Number 12, DeAndre Hunter.
17:34That's his third personal foul.
17:38Kenny and the Cavaliers had their way with the heat
17:40in the first round of the playoffs a season ago.
17:43Redemption certainly on the mind
17:45of this Miami club tonight.
17:48First of four between these teams.
17:50Powell doesn't hesitate.
17:51The second will come here two nights from now
17:53as Mitchell bumps Mitchell
17:55and Davion picks up the foul.
18:00Davion just trying to slow that ball down.
18:01Knocked the Cavs off of any type of rhythm.
18:05Davion was one of the lone right spots
18:07for Eric Spoelstra's heat
18:09in that first round matchup.
18:12Played well.
18:13It was really difficult.
18:14The guard, he stepped up big,
18:16put his name in the conversation
18:19on that chalkboard every night.
18:21Mitchell slices inside and scores.
18:24Donovan lost a shoe
18:25as Larson puts it up in.
18:27Oh, Larson!
18:29Donovan still
18:30finally has that shoe back on.
18:34You can see him stomping on that right foot
18:36trying to get his heel back in that shoe
18:39as Garland with a hesitation move on Wiggins.
18:42Floats it up.
18:43He missed it.
18:43It's rebounded by Ware.
18:45The Miami lead is nine.
18:47Davion Mitchell slows.
18:49They'll work on Allen
18:50and that's knocked on it by Garland.
18:51But Garland can't save it.
18:54He goes!
18:59Just over three minutes in third quarter.
19:02That was strange.
19:03Mitchell, yeah, he can't touch it that second time.
19:06He's going to send it back to a teammate.
19:09Kind of half-centered back
19:11as Donovan with the steal.
19:13Hunter with the catch
19:14and then Hunter got thumped.
19:18That was like a punt returner
19:19who doesn't call for a fair catch.
19:21And Hunter got hammered in too.
19:25Davion Mitchell picks up another personal.
19:29Oh, man.
19:31Speaking of, how did my Browns do yesterday?
19:33I didn't want...
19:35I was watching like the first minute or two.
19:38We were up 7-0
19:38and I said, I'm not going to jinx it and watch it before.
19:41Yeah, well.
19:43Here's Mitchell on the hop.
19:45He'll find Mobley.
19:46Mobley for three.
19:48Special teams weren't...
19:49particularly a joy yesterday.
19:53Look at the score.
19:54His normal foul.
19:55I have a feeling he did look at the score here.
19:57Baby, I bet he'll shovel it over to Wiggins.
19:59Wiggins.
20:01Here they're doing.
20:01Pick up his pivot foot as Mobley defended.
20:04That's rebounded by DeAndre Hunter.
20:06Hunter has his head up there.
20:08Miami leads to cut to six.
20:09Hunter trips it to four.
20:11Yeah, nice job by the Cavs attacking.
20:14Tell you what, Miami's getting back playing really good defense.
20:18They're making it hard every time to get a good shot.
20:25Larson will find Powell.
20:27Powell pulls up.
20:29Got it.
20:30Powell now has 21.
20:31Oh, three!
20:34He certainly does have the green light there.
20:39Powell can score from all three levels.
20:41Hunter can't answer.
20:43Mobley salvages the possession.
20:45He'll dump it back to Garland.
20:46Garland tiptoes baseline.
20:48That was blocked by Ware,
20:49but it comes right to Donovan Mitchell.
20:51A good heads-up play by Donovan.
20:54The Cavs get called for a delay of game.
20:56That's their first warning.
21:01Donovan's up to 13 points.
21:06Davion at the other end of the foul line.
21:09Powell.
21:10Not that time.
21:11Ware keeps it alive.
21:12He'll bat it off the backboard of Wiggins,
21:14and then Wiggins and Mitchell collided.
21:16I think Mitchell will be assessed the foul here,
21:19and he is,
21:21even though I think he caught a shot in the face.
21:23The foul was a half-second earlier,
21:34and then he caught a sharp Wiggins elbow right in the face to Donovan.
21:37That's team foul number four on the Cavs,
21:40and he has been cut.
21:42Donovan's bleeding from either the lip or the nose.
21:477-22 to go here in the third.
21:50Steve Spiro out to 10 to Donovan.
21:57Donovan will head straight back to that Cavalier locker room.
22:01Really hard elbow there to the nose.
22:04Inadvertently, obviously.
22:07Sam Merrill checks in.
22:09So does Jalen Tyson.
22:10This has been a game really that's been screaming out
22:14for either team to gain momentum,
22:17gain some kind of rhythm.
22:19I mean, the Heat found a bit of a rhythm in that second quarter.
22:23This one's gone back and forth.
22:25There have been a lot of stops in this ball game.
22:28They're now cleaning up the court as Donovan
22:30is bleeding on the floor,
22:32so that will be cleaned up before we can resume.
22:36You see the field goals here in this third quarter.
22:39Let's pause for a word from Ken Ganley Kia.
22:51Hey, fans.
22:54While you're enjoying the game,
22:55go online to KenGanleyKia.com to get our lowest price.
23:00I want to see you in a Ken Ganley Kia.
23:02John Michael, Brad Doherty, and Serena Winters.
23:09The Miami lead is five.
23:12Larson is the trigger man.
23:14Back it goes to Davion Mitchell.
23:16Mitchell's watch by Garland.
23:17Now Powell back to Davion.
23:19He'll line up a three.
23:20That's no good.
23:21Ware with good inside position.
23:24They'll tip it in.
23:25And as Noel Ware now has 13 big rebounds,
23:29four of which have come on the offensive glass.
23:33Cavs get down on this end of the floor.
23:35Let's take advantage of setting some nice screens.
23:37Little ball moving again.
23:38Let that ball move.
23:40Get rid of some of the dribbling.
23:42Make Miami move their feet.
23:44Garland draws another foul.
23:46This one's on Powell.
23:48Darius has sold a number of calls here tonight.
23:52He did.
23:52He did.
23:53I got shot out of a cannon on that one.
23:56Darius is four of four from the line with two more coming.
24:00And now we have a timeout on the floor.
24:02So Garland will shoot those free throws when we come back.
24:10Mitchell was back on the Cavalier bench
24:13as we take a look at the live odds courtesy of FanDuel.
24:16These are third quarter odds only.
24:18The Cavs are up 16-14 here in the third.
24:21If you play the Cavs to win the quarter,
24:23you can do so at a minus 440.
24:25Over, under, in the quarter alone, minus 106.
24:28If you want them both, you can parlay at plus 139.
24:33Donovan was hit in the nose.
24:36He has gauze in one of his nostrils.
24:38There he is.
24:39It's hard to tell at first whether he got hit in the lip
24:42or in the nose, but it was his nose that was bleeding.
24:44He went back to the Cavalier locker room for quick repairs.
24:48And Donovan is back on that Cavs bench.
24:50Darius Garland, meanwhile, is on the line
24:53in a game that has not had a lot of flow since the opening quarter.
24:58The Cavs led this ballgame after 1-30-25.
25:02The Cavs trailed at halftime 62-53.
25:05That Miami lead has been cut to six.
25:09Donovan looking no worse for the Ware.
25:12Boy, what a huge second half he had two nights ago at home
25:15as the Cavs came from behind.
25:18They roared back down 19 to Chicago.
25:21The Cavs closed that ballgame on a 12-0 run,
25:25and it was Donovan Mitchell who had his fingerprints
25:26all over that comeback as Garland gets his fingerprints
25:30on that steal.
25:31And here comes Evan Mobley.
25:33Mobley works on Ware, gets to the foul line, deals to Tyson.
25:37Now it's Garland.
25:38Tyson was great in that fourth quarter comeback two nights ago
25:42as well as Garland works on Larson.
25:44His teardrop is no good.
25:46Garland among the trees got it back.
25:48Tyson off to Hunter who fires.
25:54Tell you what, it's good possession by the Cavaliers.
25:56He's got two really good looks and scored in the basketball.
26:01Wiggins drives and scores.
26:03Let's get the defense again.
26:04Had trouble slowing down this heat.
26:06Continue.
26:09Wiggins is 4-7 on the field.
26:11How about that touch?
26:13Mobley just fithered one through to Hunter
26:16as Garland now gets called for a foul.
26:19It was a nice pass.
26:27Garland heads back to the Cavalier bench
26:29after committing the foul.
26:30He'll be replaced by Lonzo Ball.
26:34Here's the bucket by Hunter.
26:36Garland committed that foul intentionally.
26:46I saw him kind of favoring his,
26:48I don't know if it's knee or something like it.
26:49Don't speculate, but he was hobbling a little bit.
26:51He did go on back to the locker room.
26:54Darius Garland did.
26:56That foul also put the Cavs over the limit.
26:59So Wiggins, 72% career free-throw shooter.
27:05Reigns is first.
27:0979-73 is the Miami lead.
27:13Wiggins was the 2015 Rookie of the Year.
27:20Acquired from Golden State.
27:22What turned into a five-team deal
27:25that involved Jimmy Butler?
27:28Butler headed to the Warriors.
27:31Wiggins coolly makes both.
27:33He passed the midway point of the third quarter.
27:35Heat 80, Cavalier 73.
27:38Mobley has it bumped away by Wiggins.
27:41And ahead it goes to Wiggins.
27:45The Heat international third in the NBA
27:47and points off turnovers.
27:49Wiggins has given the Heat a nine-point lead.
27:52Lonzo ball maneuvers around Wiggins.
27:56Goes to Mobley.
27:57Now it's Merrill.
27:58Mitchell's right out on him.
28:00Davion Mitchell pressures.
28:01Back it goes to Mobley for a three.
28:03Mobley, it's a much-needed triple.
28:06Yeah, wide open.
28:07Had a good opportunity.
28:08Sam Merrill made a nice pass.
28:09Get the ball movement.
28:10Going at a high level.
28:12That's all we got to do.
28:13Move the ball, move the ball.
28:14Defensive end.
28:16Contends.
28:16Box out.
28:18Wiggins nails a three.
28:20He's up to 17 points.
28:21They keep shooting these long-out shots.
28:24It's fine.
28:24We can match that if we take the ball to the basket.
28:28Just like that.
28:30Mobley drives.
28:31Rebounded by Powell.
28:35Davion Mitchell slows.
28:37Waits for his teammates.
28:39He's guarded by Tyson.
28:41Now shovels to Larson.
28:42Larson tries to drive right through Sam Merrill.
28:44Merrill.
28:45Now it is Brown.
28:46But Ware has another offensive rebound.
28:48His fifth.
28:50Burrs absolutely all over that glass tonight, John.
28:53He's done a great job of bailing out this Miami Heat team when they're struggling, getting shots down.
28:59Lonzo Ball pockets a corner three.
29:02Shot by Lonzo Ball.
29:03Let him get some shots up.
29:04Get going here.
29:05Another was Jalen Tyson here.
29:06Taking many shots tonight.
29:07He's been big.
29:08He's passed several games.
29:09Making some big three-point buckets.
29:11Hunter fouls Wiggins.
29:15The Heat will continue to shoot free throws the rest of this third quarter.
29:26Hunter, two nights ago, went for a season-high 29 points.
29:30He was efficient against the Bulls.
29:3110 of 16 from the field.
29:33He hit four threes.
29:35He was a man.
29:35He was magnificent.
29:37Man, so aggressive.
29:38So much fun to watch.
29:40Kenny pointed to a big pass that he made down the stretch as he drew a number of the Bulls.
29:45And that led to more Cavalier points.
29:49The Cavs battled back from behind.
29:51They'll need a similar effort here tonight as Wiggins' first free throw is good.
29:56Marquez and Jovic entered for the Heat.
29:59It's Mitchell and Allen for the Cavs.
30:04Donovan took a Wiggins elbow.
30:05For those of you who joined us late, went back to the Cavalier locker room.
30:10So he has the bandage in his nose as Cavaliers trailed this ball game by nine.
30:15Wiggins now has 19, 12 of which have come in this third quarter.
30:31Every possessive's opportunity to get a little continuity.
30:33You've got to keep grinding, keep grinding.
30:36Try to win the next five minutes of this game.
30:40Tyson's contested three is no good.
30:42That ball's kept alive by Allen, Allen and it knocked away.
30:46Now raises Davion Mitchell.
30:48Davion in toward Donovan and Donovan gets caught for the foul.
30:56Donovan's out here with Tyson, Allen, Merrill and Ball.
30:59And there's more free throws here for the Heat.
31:04Davion Mitchell's coming at him full steam.
31:06There's just nowhere to go.
31:06Good foul by Donovan.
31:08Not giving up the easy shot.
31:10After being acquired in the Jimmy Butler deal last season, Davion played the best basketball
31:16in his four-year pro career, mostly for his on-ball defense, coming out of college and prior to heading here to Miami.
31:24Mitchell hit 45% from three for the Heat in 30 games down the stretch.
31:28Really reinvented himself.
31:31Yeah.
31:31And here he is now starting a point guard for this Heat team.
31:36I thought he was watching him in workouts early today.
31:38I mean, he was out here early, just had the sweat pouring off his brow, shooting threes, dribble, dribble, dribble, just working on his game.
31:44So he's earned his way here, John.
31:47Mitchell.
31:48That's Donovan.
31:49He gets fouled from behind.
31:51Davion really had never been asked to do all that much offensively.
31:55And now he's been asked by Coach Polstra to get this team into offensive sets and basically just move that ball and get it up the floor.
32:03And he's doing a great job.
32:04I mean, he's made it more dynamic.
32:07And like I say, he doesn't, you've got to pay attention to him because he can go to the front of the rim.
32:13He's not a big guy, but, boy, he's explosive.
32:15And he is not afraid to dribble drive you.
32:18Merrill.
32:21Larson rebounds.
32:22Jabs are 10 of 35 from three-point range this evening.
32:27The Heat 11 of 30 as Larson puts it up.
32:29A foul is called on Merrill.
32:34Boy, we have had a load of whistles in the second and third quarters.
32:42Merrill picks up the personal.
32:43He did not like the call as he stymied Larson at first.
32:46Larson also pushed off a touch on Sam.
32:52So here's a look at Larson.
32:54He's coming off an impressive showing with Team Sweden in the Eurobasket tournament this summer.
32:59As let's pause for a word from Auto Owners Insurance.
33:02One more here for Larson.
33:15He appeared 55 games in his rookie season, starting eight.
33:22Made his college ball in Arizona.
33:24Did the sweep.
33:25Hello, Larson.
33:26All right, time for the Cavs.
33:27Larson kicking into gear here.
33:28He's 92, Cavaliers 79, three-and-a-half to go.
33:32Donovan Mitchell, blinds and scores.
33:34Nice job by Donovan.
33:35Good defense by the Heat as well.
33:37That was.
33:39Hawkins rims into Merrill.
33:41And Sam Merrill, who has led the Cavaliers in charge,
33:44is drawn over each of the last two seasons, has yet another victim.
33:47And now Eric Spolstra is going to use a coach's challenge.
33:52It's Sammy move.
33:55We shall see.
33:58Coach Spolstra wants the NBA Replay Center to take a look.
34:05Top-out's been called the challenge.
34:06Well enough.
34:07Eric Spolstra has used a Sprite coach's challenge,
34:10and Eric Spolstra has won.
34:13It's been determined that Sam Merrill of the Cavaliers was sliding laterally.
34:19The contact was made by Hawkins.
34:21This originally was ruled a charge.
34:23It has been overturned to a block.
34:25So Merrill picks up the foul.
34:27The Cavs are over the limit.
34:29So Hawkins will shoot more free throws.
34:31The Heat have taken 23 so far here tonight.
34:35Big disparity.
34:36The Cavs, 13.
34:37Hawkins now has eight points, five assists, and seven rebounds off the Miami bench.
34:47We remarked in the first half as usage rate is off the charts this season.
34:52It has skyrocketed from last year.
34:55Hawkins actually fell at him.
34:57Eric Spolstra's rotation late last season.
35:00And on the end of the playoffs, Cavs saw Hawkins only sparingly in the first-round sweep of this Miami club.
35:073-10 and counting.
35:09Eight by 13.
35:11Lonzo Ball dumps off the Tyson.
35:13He'll twist and float.
35:14That's no good.
35:15He knew he missed it.
35:15He goes and gets it and feeds Donovan Mitchell.
35:18We signed rebound.
35:19It's grabbed by Hawkins.
35:20It went over the top of Dean Wade.
35:22And then Merrill gets called for another foul.
35:26The Cavs have been over the limit for a long time here in this third quarter.
35:31Nice job on Jalen Tyson.
35:33He had a nice little jump hook opportunity.
35:34Couldn't quite get it down.
35:36Kicked it out to that corner of a good offensive rebound.
35:40That's one of Donovan's bread and butter shots in that corner.
35:42Just couldn't quite get it to go down.
35:43So, Hawkins, as a rookie, finished fourth in Rookie of the Year award voting.
35:56Behind the Wimbanyama, Holmgren, Miller.
36:00Hawkins, really a terrific rookie season.
36:03He was picked 18th overall by this Heat team.
36:05Again, dipped last year.
36:09But, boy, he has seen a resurgence here this season.
36:12And this brand of basketball, new for the Heat, is not new to Hawkins.
36:16And Hawkins has been in seamlessly here in season number three.
36:21All right, Tyson comes back to Mitchell.
36:23Mitchell dances around Drew Smith.
36:25Now it's Merrill.
36:27Merrill watched by Smith.
36:29Feeds the high post.
36:30Lonzo Ball stepped behind the line.
36:32Ball's tipped and grabbed by Donovan Mitchell.
36:34He'll step back.
36:36Mitchell works here on Larson.
36:38He gets picked up by Hawkins on the switch.
36:40Steps back and buries a three.
36:43Tell you what, I'm going to give the Heat a lot of credit.
36:45That was really good defense.
36:46They defended every angle of that.
36:48Gave us those areas of entry.
36:51And that's just a great shot by Donovan.
36:53It's going to take a little bit more.
36:54A little bit something special tonight.
36:56Have a chance to beat this Heat team.
36:57They're defending well.
36:59Playing at a high level.
36:59Marzen's pass was read beautifully by Lonzo Ball.
37:03Wade's open and connects.
37:06Nice job.
37:06Good job in transition.
37:08Getting an easy basket.
37:09Dean Wade again.
37:10Another big three.
37:11He made one in the first half.
37:13Another big shot by Dean.
37:15Wade's taken only two shots.
37:17He has six points.
37:18Jovic.
37:19No, in and out.
37:20Rebounded by Lonzo Ball.
37:22Lonzo leads the attack.
37:25Wade.
37:26He's open again.
37:27Hey!
37:28Knocks it down.
37:29And boy, it seemed like things were really going south for the Cavaliers just a minute ago.
37:34They've hit three straight triples and closed the gap to six.
37:39Jovic.
37:40He's in a phone booth.
37:41Boy, did he almost walk as Wade had him bottled up.
37:44Hawkeyes.
37:45Stumbles.
37:46No.
37:47It's tipped and out of bounds.
37:49He balled.
37:51The Cavs are just so explosive offensively, John.
37:54You know it's not going to stay.
37:55That lid can't stay on forever.
37:58They get real off.
37:59You know, 12, 14, 15 points just like that.
38:01And here we are right back in this basketball game.
38:05Dean Wade said, well, if you're going to leave me this open and alone, I'll do that.
38:12A foul is called as Larson, or check that it was Fontecchio, who tried to go across the
38:20lane, and Serena has an update on Darius Garland.
38:25Yeah, unfortunately, John, he will not return to tonight's game.
38:29The Cavs say that he has a left toe injury.
38:32He's supposed to be reevaluated after the game.
38:34You can almost see he caught his toe on the defender there as he stumbled out of bounds.
38:42And this was later, as he was in traffic inside.
38:46Fontecchio, meanwhile, hits the first free throw.
38:58Fontecchio was acquired from the Pistons over the summer in the Duncan Robinson deal.
39:02And he's Cavs, which trailed at one point by 15, down now by eight.
39:12We mentioned the Cavs have been in the penalty for a handful of minutes.
39:16The Heat have taken 18 free throws here in the third.
39:18And no, it finds Tyson.
39:19Tyson had that batted away by Yovic.
39:23Smith up ahead to Wiggins.
39:25Into the corner, Fontecchio.
39:27Fontecchio breaks out of the corner.
39:28He got stripped by Tyson.
39:31Nice job by Tyson being aggressive with Fontecchio.
39:35Mitchell.
39:35Lonzo bats it out, but it's grabbed by Fontecchio, who knocked it down.
39:41And he'll feed Drew Smith.
39:44Smith slow walks in hold for Mitchell and got bailed out by a reaching Dean Wade.
39:50It's almost like their cadences, multiple.
39:53They had multiple cadences as far as offensive attacking and the Heat.
39:56I mean, at one moment, they're trying to run a little bit of a half-court offense.
39:59Possession before, it was ball-moving, ball-moving, just really trying to make the Cavaliers move off of their spots.
40:07It's just really focused in on this Cavaliers team and trying to figure out a way to beat them.
40:12After playing them in the playoffs last year, they learned a lot.
40:15Eric Spoelstra went to work.
40:17He's got a game plan, and they're trying to execute it tonight and see if it's sustainable against this high-powered offensive team of the Cavaliers.
40:24Speaking of Coach Spoelstra, scary news is House and Coral Gables was destroyed by fire last week.
40:30He discussed it the other day.
40:31He said his two boys and his daughter and even the family dog are all safe.
40:34So, of course, everyone's thankful what we're thinking about you, Coach Spoelstra.
40:38Yeah, yeah.
40:38Just wanted to get that out there.
40:39Glad to hear everything could be replaced.
40:43Mitchell gets fouled.
40:44Yeah, again, it was in the middle of the night.
40:46His House and Coral Gables destroyed, but Eric was able to discuss it the other day.
40:51Three kids, the dog, everybody all right.
40:53So, yeah, good, good news.
40:55Your other thoughts, Coach?
40:57Here's Fantecchio, who commits the personal.
41:00Donovan Mitchell, who got banged up.
41:03He was on the wrong end of a Wiggins elbow earlier in this third quarter.
41:06We'll shoot the Cavs just third free throw here in this frame.
41:11The Heat, meanwhile, have already taken 20.
41:15They've been so aggressive at attacking us, and, you know, they've just been able to get
41:20parade to the line against us.
41:22So, that just tells us we've got to be more aggressive with that basketball.
41:25We've got to finish stronger.
41:26Oh, oh, Kenny just got tossed.
41:30Scott Foster has just ejected Kenny Atkinson as Kenny picked up his second personal.
41:35He got one in the first half.
41:38We've been in the year of Sean Corbin.
41:41There he was giving it to Scott Foster, and Kenny Atkinson for the first time in his Cavalier career.
41:47That's the second ejection as a Cavalier head coach first of the season is this ejection for Kenny, I beg your pardon.
42:05So, Smith will shoot the technical free throw, and the Heat lead is 101-91.
42:11Johnny Bryant is the associate head coach, so he will run the show the rest of the way.
42:17Let's see what transpired there.
42:20I was kind of looking at the lineup, and quite a ways away, I couldn't hear what he was saying.
42:27I was talking to some of his players, but that's not.
42:37Jalen Tyson was standing in the college zone.
42:43I think Donovan got a laugh.
42:45That's Scott Foster said, no, no, here in the end.
42:47In the NBA, you have to move behind both of those lines.
42:52One of those lines.
42:53It really is.
42:55Donovan has 13 of his 20 in this third quarter.
43:01Donovan has been one of the top second-half scorers in the NBA here in the young season.
43:07The Cavs will need more.
43:08Heading to the fourth.
43:09They trail this ballgame, 101-92.
43:11There's a nine-second difference between shot clock and game clock.
43:16Hawkez inside couldn't shoot it.
43:18Smith down the lane.
43:20Played by Lonzo Ball.
43:22Ball made the block.
43:24Appeared to hit him in the side.
43:28Watch the right side of your screen.
43:30There's Kenney.
43:33Having words for Scott Foster, and that's it.
43:40He'd have two seconds with which to work as Jovic kept that ball high and nearly hit it.
43:45Cavs have time here if they hustle.
43:47Mitchell on the run.
43:48Donovan had it bumped away.
43:50And it will be Heat ball with a second to go.
44:00Just a scrambly, ragged third quarter.
44:07The Heat led this ballgame by nine at the break.
44:10That lead remains nine as on to the fourth quarter we go.
44:15Twelve minutes remain from South Beach.
44:17And the Cavaliers for the second straight game come from behind.
44:21We'll find out next.
44:22Thanks for our senior vice president of Replay, Pat Farrell, for that highlight package.
44:49And, by the way, happy birthday to his lovely daughter, Sloan, who is 12 years old today.
44:55Fantastic.
44:56Wonderful.
44:57Marrow family.
45:01Simone Fantecchio.
45:04Late night this game is in a long time to be played through three quarters.
45:09Yeah, that first quarter went so quick because both teams were just, you know, right at it.
45:14Now it's just kind of slowed down.
45:17Donovan's long three is no good.
45:18He gets it back.
45:19Bounces off the Mobley.
45:20Mobley throws it down.
45:22Heat 101.
45:24Cavaliers 94.
45:28Fantecchio.
45:29Smith.
45:29Off it goes.
45:31For a three by Jovic.
45:32Jovic had 29 points of career high two nights ago and a victory over the Blazers.
45:46Sam Merrill has yet to connect from long range.
45:49Jovic off the Fantecchio.
45:52Mitchell corrals the weak side.
45:54Rebound.
45:55Eight by ten.
45:57Mitchell slows.
45:58Let's just split a double.
46:00Off it goes to Merrill.
46:02Now he has one.
46:04You know, that's not going to.
46:04He's not going to miss shots there for long.
46:06So, good ball moving by the Cavaliers.
46:08Going back to that weak side.
46:10Getting that shot.
46:11I think you've got to keep doing that.
46:12Strong side ball moving.
46:14Ending up with a weak side shot.
46:16Just going to create wide open opportunities to the Cavs.
46:18Just got to be cognizant of that.
46:19Then on the defensive end, got to talk, got to help.
46:23Merrill entered action.
46:24Fourth in the league in three-point percentage.
46:26Shooting threes at 55.
