After Action Report

The Cavaliers handled the Heat 116-99. The Cavaliers got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Cavaliers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Cavaliers carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one. The Cavaliers bench chemistry carried them. Heat's per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.
