After Action Report
In Cleveland, the Cavaliers fended off the Hornets 103-95. Cavaliers' offense had its way with the Hornets. Hornets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; Hornets' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Cavaliers locker room is humming, and it showed. Hornets' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Cavaliers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Hornets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
