After Action Report

The Cavaliers squeaked past the Nets 102-99. The Nets had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Nets' skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends; the Nets pushed the pace until the other side broke. Whispers of a Nets locker-room rift aren't helping. Tonight's Nets utilization choices clashed with the team identity.

What tipped it

  • Nets · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • Nets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • Cavaliers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
