MIAMI — Editor's note: the video in the player above is from a previously published story.
Kevin Love scored 22 points and the Cleveland Cavaliers snapped a 20-game losing streak in Miami, beating the Heat 111-85 on Wednesday night.
Jarrett Allen added 19 points and 11 rebounds and Darius Garland finished with 16 points for the Cavaliers, who had not won on the Heat’s home court since Jan. 25, 2010.
The Cavaliers also got a double-double from Evan Mobley with his 17-point, 11-rebound outing.
Tyler Herro scored 21 points for Miami.
Cleveland took the lead for good early — a 14-0 run in the first quarter. Love hit two 3-pointers during the surge, finishing 6 of 8 from beyond the arc.
The Cavaliers shot 16-of-31 3-pointers and built a 61-43 lead at halftime, then went on an 18-4 run to end the third period.
Dewayne Dedmon started at center for Miami in place of Bam Adebayo, who learned Wednesday that he’s likely out until at least mid-January. Tests confirmed that Adebayo tore a ligament in his right thumb during Monday’s loss to Denver. He has been scheduled to undergo surgery Sunday, at which time the Heat will have a more definitive timetable for his return.
Jimmy Butler (bruised tailbone) also remained sidelined for Miami.
Heat guard Duncan Robinson was scoreless in seven field-goal attempts, ending his franchise record of consecutive games with a 3-pointer at 69.
