After Action Report
The Nets ran roughshod over the Cavaliers 90-60. Ugly basketball, but the Nets did just enough. Nets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Nets answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Cavaliers looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Nets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Nets · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Cavaliers · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Cavaliers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
