After Action Report
The Cavaliers squeaked past the Rockets 110-108. Cavaliers' offense had its way with the Rockets. You could feel the revenge motivation from the Cavaliers; Cavaliers' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Rockets looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Cavaliers · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
- Rockets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
