After Action Report
In Cleveland, the Nets demolished the Cavaliers 152-119. The breakneck pace played right into Nets' hands. Nets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Nets' stars took over and bent the game to their will. The Nets bench chemistry carried them. It was over by halftime.
What tipped it
- Cavaliers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Cavaliers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Nets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Nets · Superstar Stack Two or more 90-overall stars bend games to their will on both ends.
- Nets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
