After Action Report

The Cavaliers buried the Jazz 124-87. The Cavaliers got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Second-chance points piled up for the Cavaliers; the Jazz couldn't shake the cold spell. The Cavaliers bench chemistry carried them. Cavaliers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.

What tipped it

  • Jazz · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • 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.
