Cleveland defence keeps home record perfect
The Cleveland Cavaliers defeated the Miami Heat 93-86 to move to 16-0 at home and 26-4 overall. The Cavs came back from a 10 point deficit in the final quarter. It was the defence that helped turn the match around as the Heat had no answer to the hustle and in your face defence.
LeBron James topped the scoring with 33 points for the match, while Miami’s Dwayne Wade had 29 points on the night.
In other matches the Boston Celtics ended their two game losing streak with a 108-63 thumping of the Sacramento Kings. The Celtics saw their 19-game win streak come to an end against Los Angeles Lakers on Christmas Day. That loss was followed up with another loss to the Golden State Warriors.
