After Action Report
The Cavaliers buried the Mavericks 136-92. The Cavaliers got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Cavaliers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Cavaliers' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. Whispers of a Mavericks locker-room rift aren't helping. Mavericks' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.
What tipped it
- Mavericks · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Mavericks · 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.
