After Action Report
The Rockets ran roughshod over the Cavaliers 118-85. The Rockets got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Cavaliers' skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends. Whispers of a Cavaliers locker-room rift aren't helping. It broke open after the break.
What tipped it
- Cavaliers · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Cavaliers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
