After Action Report
The Cavaliers demolished the Spurs 117-92. The Spurs had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Cavaliers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Cavaliers pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Spurs rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Cavaliers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Spurs · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Spurs · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
