Leading the Californians to victory is LeBron James, author of a phenomenon test with 50 points scored. For James it is the 14th career performance of at least 50 points (sixth all-time for such games), the second in a few days – the only one in NBA history with more than a 50+ point performance after turning 35 – collected by shooting with exceptional percentages: 18/25 shooting, 6/9 from the bow, 7 rebounds, six assists, +22 plus / minus in 36 minutes.
After the knockout with Phoenix, the Miami Heat return to victory at home against the Cleveland Cavaliers for 117-105 and maintain the top of the Eastern Conference. The Florida franchise places the two decisive breaks in the third (13-0) and in the fourth quarter (11-0).
The double doubles of Darius Garland with 24 points and 10 assists and Evan Mobley, with 17 and 11 rebounds are not enough for the guests: the 18 turnovers that lead to 30 points scored by the Heat weigh. Seventh defeat in the last 10 games for the Cavs.
Miami instead rides an amazing Bam Adebayo, scoring 30 points with excellent percentages from the field (11/16) and perfect from the line (8/8). The center of Miami also adds 17 rebounds, but it all works in the attack of coach Spoelstra who also enjoys 24 points from Jimmy Butler and a bench dragged by the usual 22 of Tyler Herro and 17 of Max Strus.
