After Action Report
The Cavaliers squeaked past the Heat 101-98. The better team simply showed up tonight. The Cavaliers played with the chip of a recent gutting loss; the Heat steamroller is in full effect right now. The Heat rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Survive-and-advance type win.
What tipped it
- Heat · Buzzsaw An 8+ game winning streak — they cannot be stopped (until the league catches up).
- Heat · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Cavaliers · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
