After Action Report

The Cavaliers blew the doors off the Grizzlies 113-80. The Cavaliers got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Cavaliers owned the glass, generating extra possessions; Grizzlies' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Cavaliers bench chemistry carried them. The Grizzlies rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. It broke open after the break.

What tipped it

  • Cavaliers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Cavaliers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
