After Action Report
In Cleveland, the Cavaliers edged the Mavericks 114-105. The Mavericks couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Cavaliers. You could feel the revenge motivation from the Cavaliers; Mavericks' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Cavaliers · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
- Mavericks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Mavericks · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
