After Action Report
In a track meet, the Cavaliers edged the Nets 123-117. The tempo dragged the Nets into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Cavaliers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Cavaliers steamroller is in full effect right now. The Cavaliers bench chemistry carried them. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Nets · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Nets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Cavaliers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Cavaliers · Buzzsaw An 8+ game winning streak — they cannot be stopped (until the league catches up).
- Cavaliers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
