Darius Garland will miss second straight game
#Cavs head coach Kenny Atkinson says “we’ll see” on Darius Garland tonight. Added that he did very little yesterday.

#Cavs beat the Miami Heat 124-87 to take a 3-0 series lead. Darius Garland didn’t play and it didn’t matter. Dominant stuff for the Cavs on both ends of the floor. They’ll go for the sweep on Monday night here in Miami. – 3:20 PM

Erik Spoelstra asked pregame about Darius Garland’s comments on Tyler Herro: “Whatever. I think it was addressed yesterday. They won two games, so they’re talking shit. It is what it is.” – 11:18 AM
