After Action Report
The Cavaliers ran roughshod over the Grizzlies 124-86. Cavaliers torched the Grizzlies on the offensive end. Cavaliers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; fresh off a statement win, the Cavaliers stayed locked in. The Grizzlies looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. The Grizzlies rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. It was over by halftime.
What tipped it
- 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.
- Grizzlies · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
