After Action Report
The Cavaliers survived the Rockets 120-118. Cavaliers' offense had its way with the Rockets. Cavaliers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Cavaliers came in with something to prove after a loss. The Rockets rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
What tipped it
- Rockets · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- 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.
