After Action Report
The Cavaliers demolished the Raptors 114-87. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Cavaliers cashed in. The Cavaliers pushed the pace until the other side broke; Raptors' outside barrage was a constant threat. The Cavaliers bench chemistry carried them. The Raptors rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. It was over by halftime.
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.
