After Action Report

The Cavaliers held off the Warriors 126-120. Cavaliers controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. Cavaliers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; fresh off a statement win, the Cavaliers stayed locked in. Cavaliers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.

What tipped it

  • Cavaliers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Cavaliers · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
  • Warriors · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Warriors · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
