After Action Report

The Cavaliers demolished the Rockets 128-106. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Cavaliers cashed in. Cavaliers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Cavaliers came in with something to prove after a loss. The Cavaliers locker room is humming, and it showed. It was over by halftime.

What tipped it

  • Cavaliers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Cavaliers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • Cavaliers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Rockets · Buzzsaw An 8+ game winning streak — they cannot be stopped (until the league catches up).
  • Rockets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
