The Cleveland Cavaliers are on the road again in South Beach against the Miami Heat at the Kaseya Center! I'll be live updating this page throughout the night.

Join the conversation with your thoughts on the evening below in the comment section.

The Cavs will get Larry Nance Jr. back, but will be without Donovan Mitchell, Darius Garland, Evan Mobley, and Jaylon Tyson.

Starters:

Cavs - Ball, Merrill, Hunter, Wade, Allen

Heat - Mitchell, Powell, Larsson, Wiggins, Ware

FIRST QUARTER

Cleveland's defense is bleeding already. At least De'Andre Hunter's gotten downhill a couple of times. Jarrett Allen's gone to the ground on a few occasions already fighting with Kel'el Ware and Miami, who are keeping him off the offensive glass. It's 17-10 at the 7:43 mark.

Craig Porter Jr. checks in and right away has a putback off a Sam Merrill miss with two attempts.

Tell ya what, CP came to play tonight guys. Wherever the ball is, he is. The Cavs' defense is having a tough time overall. Heat up 32-23.

Porter has a ton of steals and deflections in this game and the Cavs aren't even in this without him. Cleveland trails 38-29 at the end of one.

END 1Q: Heat 38, Cavs 29.

SECOND QUARTER

Thomas Bryant has gotten into the game and recorded a block and made a pair of inside shots, including a dunk.

How about a 5 of 5 start for Porter with three trey balls in 10 minutes?

Lonzo Ball throws some fastballs into that paint to Jarrett Allen. 

Cavs are set on protecting that paint but there's been a good amount of possessions that have ended in Heat triples from the right corner.

Nae'Qwan Tomlin's made himself available on cuts and gotten into the paint without the ball. Good job by him and Allen this quarter.

As good as Hunter's been this season on the glass and offensively, he has to get in defensive position quicker against these perimeter drives.

Allen's had flawless pivot foot work and easy lays and jump hooks. Credit the Cavs guards for the entry feeds this half. He's got 16 points and six boards. Porter has 16 points, five assists, three rebounds, three blocks and two steals.

Cleveland is down 69-66 going into the locker room with a solid effort.

THIRD QUARTER

Heat come out of the half hot. At least Ball knocked down a three-ball. It's 82-73.

Miami's starting to pull away here and Cleveland's even missing the bunnies now. But the guys are giving it a tough run.

Dean Wade knocks down two threes in a row to cut it down to 92-84 with three minutes in the period. Offense is doing its best.

Cavs turning up the heat literally in Miami defensively. Porter's been phenomenal, got another steal on an inbound for an easy deuce after a nifty Tyrese Proctor left-hand finish. It's down to six.

Proctor heated up at the end of the quarter. Cavs have just been hanging around, and it's 97-93 Heat with one quarter to go.

FOURTH QUARTER

Luke Travers has just given the Cavs the lead about a minute into the fourth at 99-98. Nice job of driving the closeout.

Tomlin and Bryant are in the scrap against Jaquez and Jovic! Cavs up three as Erik Spoelstra calls time.

Qwan's giving the wine and gold some very valuable minutes. Six free-throw attempts, some big defense. Travers has gotten active on the glass too.

Cleveland is getting stops and making the Heat pay on the other end. Miami's got 20 turnovers at this point. Cavs up 112-102 with 5:28 left in regulation.

Wine and gold are going to win this going away. Allen asserted his dominance down the stretch. It's 125-108. Wow!

The Cavs take down the Heat in the rematch, 130-116. A tremendous effort from the whole team, especially in that second half when it could've folded.
