After Action Report
In a track meet, the Nets buried the Cavaliers 132-87. Nets' scorers couldn't be contained. The Nets pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Nets locker room is humming, and it showed. Tonight's Cavaliers utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Nets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Cavaliers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
