After Action Report
In Sacramento, the Cavaliers took care of the Kings 122-104. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Cavaliers cashed in. Cavaliers' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense; Kings' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The Cavaliers bench chemistry carried them. Cavaliers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
What tipped it
- Kings · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Kings · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Kings · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Cavaliers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
