After Action Report
In Cleveland, the Suns demolished the Cavaliers 126-105. The breakneck pace played right into Suns' hands. Suns' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Suns pushed the pace until the other side broke. Whispers of a Cavaliers locker-room rift aren't helping. Early returns: the Suns per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.
What tipped it
- Cavaliers · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Cavaliers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Suns · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
