After Action Report
The Cavaliers buried the Heat 117-88. Cavaliers controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. Cavaliers' defenders refused to give up clean looks; Heat's skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends. The Heat looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. The Heat rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. It broke open after the break.
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.
