Cavaliers seek first home win of the season
by 30 October 2015, 17:39
After falling short at Chicago in the season opener, and beating Memphis on Wednesday, the Cavaliers welcome the Heat, a team that they defeated twice at home last season.
In the first of their three regular-season meetings, the Cavaliers appear favourite to extend their home winning streak against the Heat.
However, Miami come from a home win over Charlotte, and having Chris Bosh back on the squad, after missing almost half of the season due to a health condition, gives the Heat a much-needed support at both ends of the floor.
It is going to be a special game for Bosh, not only for facing James for the first time since they teamed up at Miami, but especially because, it was in Cleveland where Bosh played his final competitive game last season before blood clots put his life in jeopardy.
It’s still early in the season, and whatever the outcome of this game, it won’t say much about the potential of either for the remainder of the season. But gathering so many All-Stars in a single game such as James, Bosh, Kevin Love, Luol Deng, JR Smith and Dwyane Wade turns the contest into a must-watch.
Despite playing only two of the Cavaliers seven pre-season games, James remains at his very best, but he will be put to the test against his former teammates.
"In order for us to be who we want to be long term, we've got to defend at a high level and we need to share the ball,” James said
