After Action Report
In Cleveland, the Cavaliers buried the Jazz 117-96. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Cavaliers cashed in. The Cavaliers carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; the Jazz answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Jazz looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
What tipped it
- Cavaliers · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Jazz · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Jazz · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
