NBA says LeBron James has returned enough negative PCR tests to clear the protocols. He had a series of conflicting results that forced the NBA to place him in the protocols. – 6:15 PM

Last time the #Cavs won in Miami, LeBron, Shaq and Booby Gibson were in the starting lineup. Big Z, Andy and Jamario Moon came off the bench. Mo Williams and Delonte West were inactive. Cleveland won by a point — 92-91.
#Cavs up 24 tonight. Early 4Q. – 9:22 PM
