After Action Report
In a track meet, the Spurs blew the doors off the Cavaliers 113-86. The Cavaliers couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Spurs. The Spurs came in with something to prove after a loss; Spurs' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Cavaliers looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Spurs · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- 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.
