The Cavaliers are up 2-0 against the Heat. Herro is a talented scorer, but he’s the weakest defender in Miami’s starting lineup. 

Cleveland won Game 2 by a final score of 121-112. Kenny Atkinson’s group almost blew the game. The Cavaliers were up by 19 points at one point. The Heat cut the lead to two in the fourth quarter before Donovan Mitchell took over. 

Mitchell, who had 30 points in Game 2, scored 17 points in the fourth quarter. 

“I’ve worked really hard to be in those moments,” Mitchell said. “You’re fatigued or whatever, but you put your head down and get to the spots. … I love the fact that the game happened like this. I’d much rather this than win by 20. Especially going into an environment like we are in a few days. We had to really find a way as a group.”

The Cavaliers will look to take a commanding 3-0 series lead against the Heat in Game 3 down in Miami.
