After Action Report
The Cavaliers snuck past the Rockets 109-108. The breakneck pace played right into Cavaliers' hands. Cavaliers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Cavaliers owned the glass, generating extra possessions. Style points be damned.
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.
