After Action Report
The Cavaliers demolished the Mavericks 118-95. The breakneck pace played right into Cavaliers' hands. The Cavaliers pushed the pace until the other side broke; the Mavericks are in a full-on tailspin. The Cavaliers bench chemistry carried them. Mavericks' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Never a doubt in this one.
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 · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
