After Action Report
The Cavaliers pulled away from the Nets 121-105. The Nets had no answer for the variance gods tonight. The Cavaliers bent the defense out of shape from deep; the Nets couldn't shake the cold spell. The Cavaliers bench chemistry carried them.
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.
