After Action Report
In New Jersey, the Cavaliers took care of the Nets 120-105. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Cavaliers cashed in. The Cavaliers came in with something to prove after a loss; the Nets pushed the pace until the other side broke. Whispers of a Nets locker-room rift aren't helping. The Nets rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
What tipped it
- Nets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Cavaliers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
