After Action Report
The Cavaliers held off the Lakers 112-105. Cavaliers' offense had its way with the Lakers. The Cavaliers answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Cavaliers' defenders refused to give up clean looks. Whispers of a Lakers locker-room rift aren't helping. Tonight's Lakers utilization choices clashed with the team identity.
What tipped it
- Lakers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Lakers · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Lakers · 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.
