After Action Report
The Cavaliers demolished the Jazz 104-75. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Cavaliers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; second-chance points piled up for the Cavaliers. The Jazz looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. 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 · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Jazz · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Jazz · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
