After Action Report
In Miami, the Cavaliers rolled past the Heat 120-96. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Cavaliers cashed in. The Cavaliers came in with something to prove after a loss; Heat's Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Cavaliers bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Cavaliers per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Never a doubt in this one.
