After Action Report
The Cavaliers blew the doors off the Mavericks 106-84. Ugly basketball, but the Cavaliers did just enough. Cavaliers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Cavaliers ride keeps rolling — they're catching fire. The Cavaliers bench chemistry carried them. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.
What tipped it
- Mavericks · 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 · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
- Cavaliers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
