After Action Report
The Cavaliers buried the Suns 109-84. Ugly basketball, but the Cavaliers did just enough. The Cavaliers answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; the Cavaliers pushed the pace until the other side broke. Whispers of a Suns locker-room rift aren't helping. Early returns: the Cavaliers per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Suns · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Cavaliers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
