After Action Report
The Nets took care of the Cavaliers 96-86. Every possession went the Nets way. The Nets carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; the Nets bent the defense out of shape from deep. Whispers of a Cavaliers locker-room rift aren't helping. The Cavaliers rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
What tipped it
- Cavaliers · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Cavaliers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Nets · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
