After Action Report
The Heat blew the doors off the Cavaliers 137-104. Heat torched the Cavaliers on the offensive end. Heat's high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Heat's outside barrage was a constant threat. The Cavaliers looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Cavaliers' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
What tipped it
- Heat · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Cavaliers · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Cavaliers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
