After Action Report
The Nets demolished the Cavaliers 119-76. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Nets cashed in. Cavaliers' skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends; Cavaliers' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. The Nets bench chemistry carried them. Cavaliers' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
What tipped it
- Cavaliers · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Cavaliers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Nets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
