After Action Report
The Cavaliers fended off the Bucks 104-96. The Bucks couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Cavaliers. Cavaliers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; second-chance points piled up for the Cavaliers. The Cavaliers locker room is humming, and it showed. Cavaliers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Cavaliers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Cavaliers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Cavaliers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Cavaliers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Bucks · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Bucks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
