After Action Report
The Cavaliers took care of the Nets 121-103. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Cavaliers cashed in. The Cavaliers answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; the Nets bent the defense out of shape from deep. Whispers of a Nets locker-room rift aren't helping. Nets' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.
What tipped it
- Nets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Cavaliers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
