After Action Report
The Cavaliers downed the Mavericks 116-100. Cavaliers' scorers couldn't be contained. Cavaliers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; Cavaliers' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Mavericks looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger.
What tipped it
- Cavaliers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Mavericks · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Mavericks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
