After Action Report

In Cleveland, the Heat pulled away from the Cavaliers 102-87. The Cavaliers couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Heat. The Heat carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one; Cavaliers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The Heat bench chemistry carried them. Heat's rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
