After Action Report
In New Jersey, the Cavaliers snuck past the Nets 107-106. Cavaliers controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. The Nets couldn't shake the cold spell. The Cavaliers bench chemistry carried them. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Nets · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Nets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Cavaliers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
