After Action Report
The Heat demolished the Cavaliers 109-89. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Heat's Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; Heat's veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. Early returns: the Heat per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Heat · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Cavaliers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
