After Action Report
The Cavaliers buried the Nets 133-113. The Cavaliers got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Cavaliers owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Nets sent shots into the fifth row all night. Early returns: the Cavaliers per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Cavaliers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Nets · Block Party Multiple shot-blockers turn the paint into a no-fly zone.
