After Action Report
The Cavaliers handled the Heat 98-87. Cavaliers' scorers couldn't be contained. The Cavaliers played with the chip of a recent gutting loss; Cavaliers' outside barrage was a constant threat. Whispers of a Heat locker-room rift aren't helping. Survive-and-advance type win.
What tipped it
- Heat · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Heat · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Cavaliers · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
