After Action Report
In New Jersey, the Cavaliers took care of the Nets 115-102. Cavaliers' offense had its way with the Nets. The Cavaliers owned the glass, generating extra possessions; Cavaliers' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. Whispers of a Nets locker-room rift aren't helping. The Nets rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
What tipped it
- Nets · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Nets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Cavaliers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
