After Action Report

In Cleveland, the Cavaliers survived the Nets 117-113. Cavaliers' offense had its way with the Nets. Cavaliers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Cavaliers came in with something to prove after a loss. Nets' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.

What tipped it

  • Cavaliers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Cavaliers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • Nets · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Nets · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
  • Nets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
