After Action Report
The Heat survived the Cavaliers 119-116. The tempo dragged the Cavaliers into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Heat's Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; the Cavaliers came in with something to prove after a loss. Early returns: the Heat per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
