After Action Report
The Cavaliers took care of the SuperSonics 105-87. The better team simply showed up tonight. Cavaliers' old heads steadied the ship in the swings; second-chance points piled up for the SuperSonics. Whispers of a SuperSonics locker-room rift aren't helping. The Cavaliers rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift.
What tipped it
- SuperSonics · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- SuperSonics · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
