After Action Report

The Cavaliers pulled away from the Mavericks 114-96. Every possession went the Cavaliers way. Cavaliers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; second-chance points piled up for the Cavaliers. The Cavaliers locker room is humming, and it showed. The Cavaliers rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift.

What tipped it

  • Cavaliers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Cavaliers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Cavaliers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
