After Action Report
The Cavaliers downed the Trail Blazers 111-97. Cavaliers' scorers couldn't be contained. Cavaliers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; fresh off a statement win, the Cavaliers stayed locked in. Whispers of a Trail Blazers locker-room rift aren't helping. Trail Blazers' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.
What tipped it
- Trail Blazers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Cavaliers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Cavaliers · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
