After Action Report
The Heat took care of the Cavaliers 118-102. Heat's starting five clicked while the Cavaliers looked disjointed. The Heat came in with something to prove after a loss; the Heat bent the defense out of shape from deep. Whispers of a Cavaliers locker-room rift aren't helping. Tonight's Cavaliers utilization choices clashed with the team identity.
What tipped it
- Cavaliers · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Cavaliers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Heat · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
