After Action Report
In Cleveland, the Cavaliers rolled past the Spurs 135-113. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Cavaliers cashed in. The Cavaliers couldn't shake the cold spell; Cavaliers' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Spurs looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Cavaliers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Cavaliers · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Spurs · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Spurs · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
