After Action Report
The Nets buried the Cavaliers 124-85. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Nets cashed in. Nets' old heads steadied the ship in the swings; Cavaliers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Nets locker room is humming, and it showed. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Nets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Cavaliers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Cavaliers · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
