After Action Report
The Cavaliers downed the Nets 119-108. The breakneck pace played right into Cavaliers' hands. Fresh off a statement win, the Cavaliers stayed locked in; Cavaliers' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. The Nets looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Nets' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.
What tipped it
- Cavaliers · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- 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.
