After Action Report
The Cavaliers downed the 76ers 119-101. The Cavaliers got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Cavaliers owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Cavaliers answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. Whispers of a 76ers locker-room rift aren't helping. Cavaliers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
What tipped it
- 76ers · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- 76ers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Cavaliers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Cavaliers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
