After Action Report

In Golden State, the Warriors outlasted the Cavaliers 116-108. The Warriors won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Warriors' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Warriors owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Warriors locker room is humming, and it showed. The Warriors rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.

What tipped it

  • Warriors · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Warriors · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Warriors · Buzzsaw An 8+ game winning streak — they cannot be stopped (until the league catches up).
  • Warriors · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Cavaliers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
