After Action Report
The Rockets downed the Cavaliers 108-98. The better team simply showed up tonight. The Cavaliers answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Cavaliers' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. Whispers of a Cavaliers locker-room rift aren't helping.
What tipped it
- Cavaliers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Cavaliers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
