After Action Report
The Cavaliers blew the doors off the Jazz 114-88. Cavaliers' scorers couldn't be contained. You could feel the revenge motivation from the Cavaliers; Cavaliers' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Cavaliers bench chemistry carried them. Jazz's per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Never a doubt in this one.

- Jazz · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Cavaliers · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
- Cavaliers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
