After Action Report
The Nets ran roughshod over the Cavaliers 112-90. Every possession went the Nets way. Nets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Cavaliers are in a full-on tailspin. The Cavaliers looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Nets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- 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.
