After Action Report

The Cavaliers snuck past the Heat 110-109. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Cavaliers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Cavaliers bent the defense out of shape from deep. Whispers of a Heat locker-room rift aren't helping. The Cavaliers rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Style points be damned.

What tipped it

  • Heat · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • Heat · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • Cavaliers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
