After Action Report
In Cleveland, the Cavaliers downed the Heat 97-81. Execution down the stretch made the difference. The Cavaliers couldn't shake the cold spell; Heat's outside barrage was a constant threat.
What tipped it
- Cavaliers · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Cavaliers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Heat · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
