After Action Report

The Cavaliers blew the doors off the Spurs 110-81. Cavaliers' offense had its way with the Spurs. Cavaliers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Cavaliers' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. The Spurs looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. The Spurs rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. It was over by halftime.

What tipped it

  • Cavaliers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Spurs · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Spurs · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
