After Action Report
The Cavaliers handled the Spurs 98-84. The Cavaliers won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. The Cavaliers came in with something to prove after a loss; Cavaliers' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. The Spurs looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Survive-and-advance type win.
What tipped it
- Cavaliers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Spurs · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Spurs · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Spurs · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
