After Action Report
In Cleveland, the Cavaliers buried the Heat 143-115. The tempo dragged the Heat into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Cavaliers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Cavaliers answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Cavaliers locker room is humming, and it showed.
