After Action Report
The Cavaliers ran roughshod over the Nets 108-87. The better team simply showed up tonight. Cavaliers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Cavaliers' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. The Cavaliers bench chemistry carried them. Nets' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. It was over by halftime.
What tipped it
- 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 · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
