After Action Report

The Bobcats demolished the Cavaliers 129-97. The tempo dragged the Cavaliers into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Bobcats' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Bobcats' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. Early returns: the Bobcats per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. It was over by halftime.

What tipped it

  • Cavaliers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Cavaliers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • Bobcats · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
