After Action Report
In Houston, the Cavaliers rolled past the Rockets 125-73. Cavaliers' scorers couldn't be contained. Cavaliers' shot-blockers turned the paint into a no-fly zone; fresh off a statement win, the Cavaliers stayed locked in. Whispers of a Rockets locker-room rift aren't helping. Rockets' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Rockets · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Rockets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Cavaliers · Block Party Multiple shot-blockers turn the paint into a no-fly zone.
- Cavaliers · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
