After Action Report
The Nets outlasted the Cavaliers 108-100. The better team simply showed up tonight. Nets' outside barrage was a constant threat; Cavaliers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. Early returns: the Nets per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Cavaliers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Cavaliers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Cavaliers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
