After Action Report
The Cavaliers demolished the Kings 129-89. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Cavaliers cashed in. Cavaliers' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes; the Kings pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Cavaliers locker room is humming, and it showed. Tonight's Kings utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Cavaliers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Kings · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
