The Miami Heat defeated the Cleveland Cavaliers , 120 - 92 , at American Airlines Arena on Saturday night . After an exhausting 135 - 130 victory on Friday against the Hawks , Cleveland opted to rest LeBron James and Kyrie Irving , who 'd combined for 81 points in the win . While that likely proved disappointing to the many in South Florida who showed up to see the dynamic duo in action , it was a prudent move for the top - seeded Cavaliers ( 42 - 19 ) , who are looking to have their superstars as fresh as possible for the postseason run . An opportunistic Heat ( 29 - 34 ) team took advantage , pulling away with a 32 - 16 second quarter and never looking back . Goran Dragic and Hassan Whiteside led the way for Miami with a combined 43 points , and the Heat second unit totaled 53 points while getting extra run in the blowout win . Channing Frye took the reins of the offense with the Big Three out of comission for Cleveland , posting a team - high 21 points , four rebounds , two steals and one block . Kyle Korver paced the starting five with 15 points , two assists and one rebound . Richard Jefferson provided 11 points as a reserve . Deron Williams , Tristan Thompson and Derrick Williams supplied a trio of 10 - point efforts . Deron Williams added seven assists and five rebounds , Thompson registered six rebounds and three assists , and Derrick Williams hauled in six boards . Dragic led the Heat with 23 points , five assists and three rebounds . Whiteside tallied a 20 - point , 13 - rebound double - double that also included one block .
