After Action Report

In New Orleans, the Cavaliers blew the doors off the Hornets 122-94. The Cavaliers got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Cavaliers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; Cavaliers' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. The Cavaliers bench chemistry carried them. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.

What tipped it

  • Hornets · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Cavaliers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Cavaliers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
