After Action Report
In Cleveland, the Spurs buried the Cavaliers 119-98. The Spurs got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Spurs came in with something to prove after a loss; Spurs' defenders refused to give up clean looks. Whispers of a Cavaliers locker-room rift aren't helping. Tonight's Cavaliers utilization choices clashed with the team identity. It broke open after the break.
What tipped it
- Cavaliers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Spurs · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
