Saturday night's Cavs-Heat game in Miami was an awful 120-92 beating by the home team while LeBron James, Kyrie Irving and Kevin Love all sat out.

J.R. Smith was out too, but at least he got a little action at the end, getting into it with the Heat, including former Cav Dion Waiters. The two traded nasty talk and had to be separated.

Then Smith had words for McGruder after the game:
















 

Afterward, McGruder, Frye and Cavs coach Tyronn Lue all downplayed the whole thing.






But the teams play again Monday in Cleveland, and you can bet LeBron and Kyrie won't sit out that one.
