After Action Report
In Portland, the Cavaliers buried the Trail Blazers 124-95. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Cavaliers cashed in. Cavaliers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Cavaliers couldn't shake the cold spell. Whispers of a Trail Blazers locker-room rift aren't helping. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Trail Blazers · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Trail Blazers · 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 · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
