After Action Report

In Cleveland, the Cavaliers downed the Raptors 109-93. Cavaliers' offense had its way with the Raptors. Cavaliers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Cavaliers played with the chip of a recent gutting loss. The Raptors looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Tonight's Raptors utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.

What tipped it

  • Cavaliers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Cavaliers · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
  • Raptors · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • Raptors · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
