After Action Report
In Golden State, the Warriors squeaked past the Cavaliers 112-107. Warriors' offense had its way with the Cavaliers. Warriors' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes; Cavaliers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The Cavaliers looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. The Cavaliers rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
What tipped it
- Cavaliers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Cavaliers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Cavaliers · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Cavaliers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
