After Action Report

The Cavaliers handled the 76ers 118-99. Cavaliers torched the 76ers on the offensive end. The Cavaliers steamroller is in full effect right now; Cavaliers' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. The Cavaliers bench chemistry carried them. Cavaliers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.

What tipped it

  • 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 · Buzzsaw An 8+ game winning streak — they cannot be stopped (until the league catches up).
  • Cavaliers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
