James gave high praise to his fellow All-Star, telling NBA.com, "Kevin Love is our focal point. We want to get Kev to know how great he is and how good he is for our team. He showed again tonight why he is one of the best power forward in our league."
Besides dishing five assists, Love converted 6-of-15 baskets, 3-of-7 triples and all nine of his free throws. Still without their All-Star point guard Kyrie Irving, the Cavaliers moved the ball well with 25 assists while shooting 45.3 percent from the field (39-of-86 shots made.
Dwyane Wade topscored for the Heat with 25 points while Chris Bosh had 16 and five boards. Goran Dragic finished with 11 points ansd six dimes, but the point guard struggled with his shot, making just 3-for-9 from the field.
After losing their season opener to the Chicago Bulls on October 27, the Cavs have since won back-to-back while the Heat fell to 1-1.
