TIP-INS
Cavaliers: If history holds, James won't play Wednesday. He hasn't appeared in a general season finale since 2007. … Thompson and Irving were on the floor working out pregame. Thompson missed his fourth straight redirection with a sprained right thumb. … G Kay Felder (left lower leg) was hurt in the second from last quarter and did not return. … Williams' high with the Cavs was 19, until Monday. He had 20 by the midpoint of the second from last quarter.
Warm: Dion Waiters (bring down leg) was recorded as flawed, yet missed his twelfth progressive beguilement. The Heat are 27-19 with him and now 12-23 without him. … Ellington related from midcourt not long after the second from last quarter chime. It would have gotten Miami inside eight going into the fourth.
