After Action Report

The Cavaliers ran roughshod over the Raptors 130-86. Cavaliers' scorers couldn't be contained. Cavaliers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Cavaliers couldn't shake the cold spell. The Raptors looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Garbage time started early.

What tipped it

  • Cavaliers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Cavaliers · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Raptors · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • Raptors · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
