After Action Report
The Cavaliers blew the doors off the Suns 130-87. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Cavaliers cashed in. The Cavaliers carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one; the Suns couldn't shake the cold spell. The Cavaliers locker room is humming, and it showed. Tonight's Suns utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- 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.
- Suns · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Suns · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
