After Action Report
In a track meet, the Suns buried the Cavaliers 123-103. The tempo dragged the Cavaliers into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Suns' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; Cavaliers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. Tonight's Cavaliers utilization choices clashed with the team identity. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
What tipped it
- Cavaliers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Cavaliers · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
