After Action Report

In Cleveland, the Cavaliers buried the Nets 117-72. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Cavaliers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Cavaliers steamroller is in full effect right now. 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 · Buzzsaw An 8+ game winning streak — they cannot be stopped (until the league catches up).
  • Cavaliers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
