After Action Report
The Cavaliers snuck past the Heat 111-110. Execution down the stretch made the difference. You could feel the revenge motivation from the Cavaliers; Cavaliers' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. Whispers of a Heat locker-room rift aren't helping. The Cavaliers rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift.

- 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.
