After Action Report
The Cavaliers snuck past the Nets 124-121. The tempo dragged the Nets into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Cavaliers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; second-chance points piled up for the Cavaliers. Tonight's Nets utilization choices clashed with the team identity.
What tipped it
- Cavaliers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- 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.
- Nets · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
