After Action Report

The Heat outlasted the Cavaliers 108-101. Every possession went the Heat way. Heat's Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; second-chance points piled up for the Heat. The Heat locker room is humming, and it showed. Heat's rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Survive-and-advance type win.

What tipped it

  • Heat · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Heat · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Heat · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Cavaliers · Block Party Multiple shot-blockers turn the paint into a no-fly zone.
