After Action Report
The Cavaliers upended the Lakers 127-96. The Lakers had no answer for the variance gods tonight. The Cavaliers carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one; the Cavaliers pushed the pace until the other side broke. On paper this one shouldn't have been close — basketball had other ideas.
What tipped it
- Cavaliers · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
- Lakers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
