CLEVELAND CAVALIERS VS. MIAMI HEAT GAME 3 INSTANT REACTION
Game 3 has the makings of an instant classic, and the ball hasn’t even been tipped.
The Cavs are up 2-0 and arrive in Miami looking to squeeze the air out of the series, while the Heat are staring down a must-win with a 1 p.m. Eastern tip in front of what’s expected to be a late-arriving, sun-distracted crowd at the Kaseya Center.
But if anyone thinks this early matinee will lack energy, they haven’t been paying attention.
Tensions are simmering. Emotions are high.
Darius Garland made sure of that.
After the Game 2 win, Garland told reporters the Cavs’ goal to keep their offense clean was to attack Tyler Herro. Simple, direct and loud enough to be heard across the East Coast.
It didn’t take long for Tyler Herro and Bam Adebayo to clap back. Herro brushed off the comments publicly, but the Heat don’t forget things like that. Adebayo, always the vocal heartbeat of the Heat, made it clear that they took notice and intend to respond.
Now, Saturday becomes a test of more than execution. It’s pride. Control. Survival.

Herro is a bum and I can't wait for him and Temu Mitchell to be outta here. I'm glad we just demoralized them. They're 🗑 and the audacity for them to be running their mouths in the last game. Smh.
Belt to ass. Amazing performance
Always dominant without Darius.
Dude, I really like your takes, but if you didn’t even want the second half. At least wait to do this until you do.
Seriously, the ball moves so much better on offense when Garland isn't in there. Hunter didn't score in Game 1 because he hardly ever touched the ball.
They definitely need to go for the sweep on Monday. What's going on with DG?? It will give him more time to heal up.
The HEAT didn't even have 90pts now that is good defense
Gooooo Cavs !!
