After Action Report
The Cavaliers downed the Heat 107-96. Ugly basketball, but the Cavaliers did just enough. The Cavaliers steamroller is in full effect right now; Cavaliers' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Cavaliers bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Cavaliers per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Survive-and-advance type win.
