In a heartbreaking loss, the Cleveland Cavaliers fell to the Miami Heat on November eleventh, despite a valiant effort that nearly forced a second overtime. The game hinged on a critical defensive lapse in the final seconds, allowing the Heat to score the winning basket. The Cavs struggled with pace and ball movement, particularly in the second quarter, leading to poor shot selection and fast-break opportunities for the Heat. However, Sam Merrills impressive scoring run, including four consecutive three-pointers, brought the Cavaliers back into the game. The teams performance was overshadowed by Darius Garlands injury, leaving his long-term health uncertain.
