After Action Report

The Cavaliers downed the 76ers 101-82. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Cavaliers' old heads steadied the ship in the swings; 76ers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. Whispers of a 76ers locker-room rift aren't helping. 76ers' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.

What tipped it

  • 76ers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • 76ers · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • 76ers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • Cavaliers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
