After Action Report

The Cavaliers snuck past the Spurs 98-95. The Spurs couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Cavaliers. Cavaliers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; fresh off a statement win, the Cavaliers stayed locked in. The Cavaliers bench chemistry carried them. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.

What tipped it

  • Spurs · 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 · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
  • Cavaliers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
