After Action Report
In Cleveland, the Nets blew the doors off the Cavaliers 116-89. Nets' offense had its way with the Cavaliers. The Nets bent the defense out of shape from deep; the Cavaliers are in a full-on tailspin. Whispers of a Cavaliers locker-room rift aren't helping. Nets' 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
- Cavaliers · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Cavaliers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
