The Cavaliers demolished the Nets 124-101. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Cavaliers cashed in. The Cavaliers owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Cavaliers ride keeps rolling — they're catching fire. The Cavaliers bench chemistry carried them. Nets' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Never a doubt in this one.
