After Action Report
The Cavaliers took care of the Nets 113-102. Cavaliers controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. Nets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; second-chance points piled up for the Nets.
What tipped it
- Cavaliers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Nets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Nets · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Nets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
