After Action Report

The Cavaliers demolished the Heat 125-67. The Cavaliers got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. You could feel the revenge motivation from the Cavaliers; the Heat owned the glass, generating extra possessions. Whispers of a Heat locker-room rift aren't helping. Tonight's Heat utilization choices clashed with the team identity. It was over by halftime.

What tipped it

  • Heat · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Heat · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • 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.
