After Action Report
The Heat snuck past the Cavaliers 113-109. The Cavaliers couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Heat. Fresh off a statement win, the Heat stayed locked in; Cavaliers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The Heat locker room is humming, and it showed. Cavaliers' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Heat · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Heat · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Cavaliers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
