After Action Report
In Cleveland, the Cavaliers buried the Bucks 131-103. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Cavaliers cashed in. Cavaliers' old heads steadied the ship in the swings; the Bucks are in a full-on tailspin. The Cavaliers locker room is humming, and it showed. Cavaliers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Cavaliers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Bucks · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Bucks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
