After Action Report
In Cleveland, the Cavaliers took care of the Raptors 104-92. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Cavaliers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Cavaliers played with the chip of a recent gutting loss. The Raptors looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. The Cavaliers rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Cavaliers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Cavaliers · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
- Raptors · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Raptors · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
