After Action Report
The Cavaliers took care of the Nets 101-82. Execution down the stretch made the difference. The Cavaliers came in with something to prove after a loss; Cavaliers' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. Whispers of a Nets locker-room rift aren't helping. The Cavaliers rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift.
