After Action Report
The Kings fended off the Cavaliers 98-91. Execution down the stretch made the difference. The Cavaliers are in a full-on tailspin; Cavaliers' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Cavaliers looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
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.
