After Action Report
The Cavaliers buried the Raptors 101-77. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Cavaliers' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense; Raptors' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Cavaliers bench chemistry carried them. Tonight's Raptors utilization choices clashed with the team identity. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.
What tipped it
- Raptors · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Cavaliers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
