After Action Report

In Cleveland, the Cavaliers blew the doors off the Kings 131-89. Cavaliers' offense had its way with the Kings. Cavaliers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Cavaliers carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one. The Kings looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. The Kings rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Never a doubt in this one.

What tipped it

  • Cavaliers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Cavaliers · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
  • Kings · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • Kings · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
