After Action Report

In a track meet, the Cavaliers demolished the Spurs 127-104. Cavaliers controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. Shots just aren't falling for the Cavaliers lately; second-chance points piled up for the Spurs. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.

What tipped it

  • Cavaliers · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Cavaliers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • Spurs · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Spurs · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
  • Spurs · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
