After Action Report
In San Antonio, the Cavaliers pulled away from the Spurs 103-93. The better team simply showed up tonight. The Cavaliers carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; the Spurs are in a full-on tailspin. The Cavaliers bench chemistry carried them. Spurs' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it

- Spurs · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Cavaliers · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Cavaliers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
