After Action Report
In Miami, the Cavaliers squeaked past the Heat 107-103. The Cavaliers won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Cavaliers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; fresh off a statement win, the Cavaliers stayed locked in. Cavaliers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Cavaliers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Cavaliers · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
