After Action Report
The Cavaliers demolished the Rockets 129-69. The Cavaliers got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Cavaliers came in with something to prove after a loss; Cavaliers' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Rockets looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. The Rockets rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Cavaliers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Rockets · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Rockets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
