After Action Report
The Cavaliers downed the Rockets 133-116. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Cavaliers cashed in. Cavaliers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; Cavaliers' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. The Cavaliers rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift.
What tipped it
- Rockets · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Cavaliers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
