The Cleveland Cavaliers will welcome the Miami Heat to Rocket Mortgage Fieldhouse for an NBA game on Tuesday. The Cavaliers won 122-99 in their last game over the Clippers. Cedi Osman tied his career high with 29 points and matched the franchise record by making all seven of his 3-pointers as the Cleveland Cavaliers built a 40-point lead on their way to a 122-99 rout of the Los Angeles Clippers on Sunday night.
All-Star starter Donovan Mitchell had 11 points in his return for Cleveland after missing three games with a strained groin. The Cavaliers never trailed and took their largest lead of the season at 82-42 on Jarrett Allen’s first 3-pointer since Nov. 5, 2021. “It was a great feeling, everybody was sharing the moment with me,” Osman said. “We played great offensively, and it was a great game for everybody. We’ve got such a good group of guys who support each other at all times.”
The Clippers, who had won five in a row, opted not to dress Kawhi Leonard, Paul George and Reggie Jackson, all of whom played Saturday in Atlanta. Officially, George and Leonard did not play because of right knee trouble and Jackson has a sore right Achilles.
The Heat on the other hand lost 122-117 against the Hornets in their last game. Jimmy Butler scored 28 points for Miami, and Tyler Herro had 24. The Heat led 62-58 after Rozier banked in a 3 from the midcourt logo to close out the first half. Miami went on a 10-1 run to start the third quarter. Herro knocked down two 3-pointers to help the Heat open a 13-point lead.
Whether a now healthy Hornets team can make a playoff push remains to be seen, but coach Steve Clifford remains optimistic. “Getting ’Melo and Gordon back, obviously you’re a different team,” Clifford said. “If we can get into playing set groups then we’ll have a good chance to hopefully put some good stretches together. (It helps) when they know who they’re playing with and they know where the shots are coming from.”
