After Action Report
The Cavaliers outlasted the Heat 127-119. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Cavaliers cashed in. Cavaliers' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes; Heat's veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. The Heat rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
What tipped it
- Cavaliers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
