After Action Report
In Miami, the Heat took care of the Cavaliers 100-86. Heat's scorers couldn't be contained. The Heat couldn't shake the cold spell; Heat's Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. Early returns: the Heat per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
What tipped it
- Heat · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Heat · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Cavaliers · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
