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.
