After Action Report
The Cavaliers survived the Rockets 126-122. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Cavaliers cashed in. Shots just aren't falling for the Cavaliers lately; Cavaliers' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. Rockets' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.
What tipped it
- Cavaliers · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Rockets · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
