The Cleveland Cavaliers defeated the Miami Heat 130-116 in their Eastern Conference battle during the 2025-26 NBA regular season on Thursday morning (PH time) at the Kaseya Center.
Clinging to a two-point lead early in the fourth quarter, the Cavs unleashed an 8-0 run to create much-needed separation against the scrappy Heat, extending the margin to 112-102 midway through the final frame.
Star big man Jarrett Allen dominated with 30 points and 10 rebounds, capping his stellar night with a strong layup off a pick-and-roll to push the lead to 17 and put the game out of reach.
De’Andre Hunter chipped in 21 points, while Craig Porter Jr. added 19 for Cleveland.
