After Action Report
In New Jersey, the Nets squeaked past the Cavaliers 111-110. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Nets cashed in. Nets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Cavaliers owned the glass, generating extra possessions.
What tipped it
- Nets · 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 · Buzzsaw An 8+ game winning streak — they cannot be stopped (until the league catches up).
- Cavaliers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
