From the onset, the Cavaliers established control with a strong first quarter, outscoring the Grizzlies by three points. Although they faced a slight dip in momentum during the second quarter, scoring only 16 points to Memphis's 22, they bounced back impressively in the third and fourth quarters with an additional combined total of 62 points. The home team's offensive efficiency was evident as they shot at a commendable rate from both inside and beyond the arc—45 percent from field goals overall and an impressive 40 percent from three-point range.


The Cavaliers' bench made significant contributions totaling to an impressive tally of 29 bench points. This depth proved crucial as it allowed them to maintain intensity throughout the game without relying solely on their starters. Defensively, Cleveland matched Memphis's tenacity block-for-block but edged them out with one additional steal for a total of eleven steals.

On individual performances, several players stepped up for Cleveland; however specific statistics on player contributions were not provided in this summary. Their collective effort resulted in drawing more fouls than their opponents (21 compared to Memphis's fifteen), which translated into more free throw opportunities—though only converting these chances at a rate of seventy-two percent.


Memphis did show resilience despite trailing behind for most of the game. They managed to tie scores eight times and saw six lead changes before ultimately falling short against Cleveland’s robust playstyle. The Grizzlies were particularly effective from the free-throw line hitting ninety-five percent of their shots but struggled within two-point range where they only made thirty-six percent.
