After Action Report
In Cleveland, the Cavaliers knocked off the Clippers 121-120. The Cavaliers got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Cavaliers' old heads steadied the ship in the swings; Clippers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The Cavaliers rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. On paper this one shouldn't have been close — basketball had other ideas.
What tipped it
- Clippers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Clippers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Clippers · Superstar Stack Two or more 90-overall stars bend games to their will on both ends.
- Clippers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Clippers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
