Donovan Mitchell scored 26 points, Darius Garland had 10 assists and the Cleveland Cavaliers survived some sloppiness in the final two minutes to win their 12th straight game, 112-107 over the banged-up Miami Heat.
There is more than a month of regular-season basketball left to be played this season, but one team has already clinched its spot in the 2025 playoffs. The Cleveland Cavaliers are officially in the top six, but it took a wild finish for them to get there.
Duncan Robinson thought he'd tied Wednesday night's game with a clutch three-pointer. But his heel went out of bounds and the Cleveland Cavaliers extended their win streak to 12 games.
Between Robinson’s two-man game with starting center Bam Adebayo and Robinson serving as a three-point threat who opponents have to game plan for, there’s more space for the Heat’s offense to operate when Robinson is on the court and especially when Robinson is making a bunch of threes.
The Miami Heat and guard Duncan Robinson will have contractual decisions to make at season’s end about the partnership going forward.
Bam Adebayo had 19 points and 15 rebounds to break Miami’s franchise record for double-doubles, and the Heat cruised to a 106-90 victory over the NBA-worst Washington Wizards.
The Miami Heat and their revamped lineup are at their best when Duncan Robinson is aggressive. The numbers prove it—when Robinson scores at least 20 points, Miami holds a dominant 52-15 record over his seven-year career.
Donovan Mitchell scored 26 points, Evan Mobley added 16 points and 13 rebounds, and the Cleveland Cavaliers closed on a 12-2 run to beat the visiting Miami Heat 112-107 on Wednesday for their 12 straight victory.
Robinson notched 24 points (9-16 FG, 6-13 3Pt), five rebounds and six assists across 33 minutes during Wednesday's 131-109 win over the Hawks. Robinson has had some rough scoring performances as of late but notched a season-high 24 points in Wednesday's win against the Hawks.
Duncan appeared on the podcast alongside Cam Johnson of the Brooklyn Nets, who agreed that it would be good to see more of these long-distance shots in the game. The idea could help to add a bit more excitement to the game, but is a change really likely? It’s a long shot.
Miami Heat star Tyler Herro revealed which player could boost the offense and make a major impact in upcoming NBA games.
