After Action Report
The Cavaliers held off the Nets 126-117. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Cavaliers cashed in. Cavaliers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Cavaliers' old heads steadied the ship in the swings.
What tipped it

- Nets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Cavaliers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
