After Action Report

In a track meet, the Cavaliers rolled past the Grizzlies 134-113. Cavaliers controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. Cavaliers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Cavaliers pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Cavaliers locker room is humming, and it showed. Grizzlies' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Never a doubt in this one.

What tipped it

  • Cavaliers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Cavaliers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Grizzlies · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Grizzlies · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
