The story
Miami Heat defeated Cleveland Cavaliers 87–82 in the NBA regular season on 25 February 2000. The completed result is recorded as Cleveland Cavaliers 82–87 Miami Heat in Miami, United States.
How it unfolded
Miami Heat finished 5 points ahead in a game that produced 169 combined points. The fixture formed part of the 1999–2000 regular-season programme and is treated as one distinct completed game rather than being split into separate score, margin or team-result reports.
The wider picture
The NBA's official dated team box-score archive establishes the fixture and final, while two independent historical schedule indexes corroborate the same pairing, date and score. This report does not infer player statistics, lineups, attendance or standings consequences, and the original game date remains separate from the later iintroo archive-publication timestamp.
