After Action Report
The Rockets buried the Cavaliers 114-81. Rockets torched the Cavaliers on the offensive end. Second-chance points piled up for the Rockets; the Rockets bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Cavaliers looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. The Cavaliers rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
What tipped it
- Rockets · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- 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.
