After Action Report
The Cavaliers rolled past the Mavericks 124-100. The Cavaliers got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Cavaliers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; fresh off a statement win, the Cavaliers stayed locked in. The Cavaliers locker room is humming, and it showed. Cavaliers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.
What tipped it
- Cavaliers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Cavaliers · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Cavaliers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Mavericks · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
