After Action Report
The Cavaliers survived the Nets 113-108. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Cavaliers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; you could feel the revenge motivation from the Cavaliers. Whispers of a Nets locker-room rift aren't helping. Early returns: the Cavaliers per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
What tipped it
- Nets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Nets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Cavaliers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Cavaliers · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
