After Action Report
The Cavaliers rolled past the Heat 131-94. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Cavaliers cashed in. Cavaliers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Cavaliers' outside barrage was a constant threat. The Cavaliers locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Cavaliers per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Cavaliers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Cavaliers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Heat · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Heat · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
