After Action Report

In New Jersey, the Cavaliers held off the Nets 120-113. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Cavaliers cashed in. The Cavaliers couldn't shake the cold spell; Cavaliers' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. Whispers of a Nets locker-room rift aren't helping.

  • Nets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • Cavaliers · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
