Twin 37s in the paint carry Heat past Cavaliers 133-121

The wire

Matching 37-point nights from Bam Adebayo and Giannis decided the paint in Miami, where the Heat pulled away to beat Cleveland 133-121. Both big men owned the interior all evening, and the hosts iced the result from the free-throw line once the Cavaliers ran out of answers.

Davion Mitchell ran the offense with 17 assists, controlling tempo and keeping everyone fed. The rebounding battle also swung Miami's way, and that edge on second chances stretched the lead in the closing minutes.
