After Action Report

In Cleveland, the Cavaliers squeaked past the Raptors 97-94. Cavaliers' scorers couldn't be contained. Cavaliers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Cavaliers' outside barrage was a constant threat. The Raptors rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Style points be damned.

What tipped it

  • Cavaliers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Raptors · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
