After Action Report
The Cavaliers blew the doors off the Nets 128-107. The tempo dragged the Nets into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Cavaliers' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes; the Nets are in a full-on tailspin. The Nets looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Nets' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.
What tipped it
