After Action Report
The Cavaliers buried the Clippers 140-118. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Cavaliers cashed in. Cavaliers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Cavaliers answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Clippers looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Cavaliers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Cavaliers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Cavaliers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Clippers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Clippers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
