Heat Win 117-90, Stay Perfect Against Struggling Cavs
MIAMI (AP) - Dwyane Wade scored 26 of his 34 points in the first half, LeBron James added 24 points and eight assists against his former team and the Miami Heat beat Cleveland 117-90 on Monday night, sending the Cavaliers to their 21st straight loss.
Zydrunas Ilgauskas scored 12 points and had a season-high 14 rebounds for the Heat, who moved to 3-0 against the Cavs this season.
Antawn Jamison finished with 21 points and 10 rebounds for the Cavaliers, who rallied from an early 19-point deficit to get within 70-67 in the third quarter.
But James finished off a 19-5 Heat run to end the quarter and Miami cruised from there, turning it into a romp.
