After Action Report

The Cavaliers rolled past the Kings 131-106. Cavaliers' scorers couldn't be contained. Cavaliers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Cavaliers ride keeps rolling — they're catching fire. The Cavaliers locker room is humming, and it showed. Kings' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.

What tipped it

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