After Action Report
In Cleveland, the Cavaliers survived the Timberwolves 97-96. Every possession went the Cavaliers way. The Cavaliers are in a full-on tailspin; Cavaliers' defenders refused to give up clean looks. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
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.
- Timberwolves · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
