After Action Report
The Cavaliers rolled past the Raptors 111-88. Cavaliers' scorers couldn't be contained. The Cavaliers owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Cavaliers came in with something to prove after a loss. Whispers of a Raptors locker-room rift aren't helping. Early returns: the Cavaliers per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Raptors · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Raptors · 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.
- Cavaliers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
