After Action Report
In a track meet, the Cavaliers buried the Heat 140-116. The tempo dragged the Heat into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Cavaliers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; Cavaliers' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Cavaliers locker room is humming, and it showed. The Cavaliers rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Never a doubt in this one.
