After Action Report
The Cavaliers blew the doors off the Mavericks 123-98. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Cavaliers cashed in. The Cavaliers are in a full-on tailspin; Cavaliers' defenders refused to give up clean looks. Mavericks' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Cavaliers · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Cavaliers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
