After Action Report
The Heat squeaked past the Cavaliers 98-95. Heat's positional fit overwhelmed the Cavaliers rotation. Heat's veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes; the Cavaliers bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Heat bench chemistry carried them. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- 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.
