After Action Report
In New Orleans, the Cavaliers buried the Hornets 133-102. The Cavaliers got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Cavaliers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Hornets bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Cavaliers bench chemistry carried them. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Hornets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Cavaliers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Cavaliers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
