Cleveland played without a trio of All-Stars; guard Darius Garland, who aggravated his surgically repaired left toe on Monday, guard Donovan Mitchell (rest) and forward Evan Mobley (rest). Miami was without Bam Adebayo (toe) and Tyler Herro (heel).
Miami led by as many as 12 in the second before Cleveland finished the quarter on a 15-4 run to pull within three at the half.
