After Action Report
In Philadelphia, the Cavaliers rolled past the 76ers 115-90. Cavaliers controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. Cavaliers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Cavaliers answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. Whispers of a 76ers locker-room rift aren't helping. The 76ers rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. It was over by halftime.
What tipped it
- 76ers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- 76ers · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- 76ers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Cavaliers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Cavaliers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
