After Action Report
The Cavaliers blew the doors off the Rockets 118-95. The tempo dragged the Rockets into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Cavaliers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; second-chance points piled up for the Rockets. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
What tipped it
- Cavaliers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Rockets · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
