After Action Report
The Heat buried the Cavaliers 123-75. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Heat cashed in. Heat's Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Cavaliers couldn't shake the cold spell. The Cavaliers looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Cavaliers' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Heat · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- 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.
