After Action Report

The Cavaliers blew the doors off the Kings 132-104. The Cavaliers got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Cavaliers owned the glass, generating extra possessions; Kings' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. The Cavaliers bench chemistry carried them. Kings' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.

What tipped it

  • Cavaliers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
