LeBron James returned to the AAA to face his former team who gave him 2 rings, with Bosh out due to an injury the Cavs started with a small starting 5 with Marion as PF to matchup better with their opponents. Right from the beginning the heat have been so aggressive especially on the offensive side
go so often to the rim, Dwayne Wade on the 1st quarter shown an impressive energy despite his injuries exactly the opposite of LBJ who started soft being focused on passing the ball and put on rhythm. Miami got a consistent lead due to a Cleveland's defensive struggle missing the right times on rotations and they missed a lot of assignments. The start of the 2nd quarter has been full of errors because the 2 teams put on the field all the bench players, after the 1st 4-5 minutes the 1st quarter trends when the starters returned on the field lead by a show off Wade, he's able o do that due to the very high quality passes by all his teammates. The inability of the Cavs to stop Heat's offense along with too many isolation on offense made them fall behind 62-49 at the end of the 2nd quarter.
The 3rd quarter saw Wade FG % fell with a global 1-7 from the field and this seemed to afflict even his teammates that's why Cleveland got closer to them, the Heat luck of offense didn't came alone but it has been forced by a significant improvement by the entire Cavs' offense who conceded a way more fast transitions due to missed chances. At the beginning of the 4th quarter Cleveland seemed to take the control of the game playing a very intense defense that relied so much on helps and quick rotation by the way this energy compensated the quality and the technique that hasn't been good. Wade luck of shooting continued so he started to be the PG of the team began to distributing assists to his teammates, especially to Deng and Grangers who killed the game in last 3 minutes of the quarter.
Cleveland proved to be far to be a potential candidate for the rings, they need to make experience togheter and especially play tougher on defense, coach Blatt has the necessary times to work on his team's chemistry so don't count them out from the team who has a chance with other 2 big IF...if LBJ will fix his problems from the charity lines and if Love will improve his game especially being more a part of this system both offensively and defensively.
The Heat without Bosh proved to be a good team on both sides when they can rely on the energy and the health of their best players and i think they have the talents to do very well especially counting on a weak Eastern Conference. The MVP of this game has been SF Deng who came close the the triple double but even Wade played very well with an amazing 1st half.
