After Action Report
In Cleveland, the Cavaliers shocked the Jazz 125-122. Cavaliers controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. Shots just aren't falling for the Cavaliers lately; Cavaliers' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Cavaliers rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. On paper this one shouldn't have been close — basketball had other ideas.
What tipped it
- Cavaliers · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Jazz · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
