After Action Report
The Cavaliers survived the Heat 110-105. Cavaliers controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. Cavaliers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Cavaliers came in with something to prove after a loss. Whispers of a Heat locker-room rift aren't helping. Heat's per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.
What tipped it
- Heat · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Cavaliers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Cavaliers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
