After Action Report
The Cavaliers buried the Nets 136-101. The Cavaliers got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Second-chance points piled up for the Cavaliers; shots just aren't falling for the Cavaliers lately. The Nets looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Early returns: the Cavaliers per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Cavaliers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Cavaliers · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Nets · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Nets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
