After Action Report
The Nets demolished the Cavaliers 120-98. The Nets got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Nets' defenders refused to give up clean looks; the Cavaliers couldn't shake the cold spell. The Cavaliers looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. The Cavaliers rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.
What tipped it
- 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.
