After Action Report
The Cavaliers handled the Nets 117-101. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Cavaliers cashed in. The Cavaliers couldn't shake the cold spell; the Nets are in a full-on tailspin. The Nets looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Nets' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.
What tipped it
- Cavaliers · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- 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.
