After Action Report
The Cavaliers edged the Nets 100-92. Cavaliers torched the Nets on the offensive end. Cavaliers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Cavaliers came in with something to prove after a loss. The Nets looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. The Nets rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Cavaliers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Cavaliers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Nets · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Nets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
