After Action Report
The Cavaliers demolished the Hornets 142-109. Cavaliers' offense had its way with the Hornets. Second-chance points piled up for the Cavaliers; the Cavaliers pushed the pace until the other side broke. Whispers of a Hornets locker-room rift aren't helping. Hornets' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Hornets · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Hornets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Cavaliers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
