After Action Report

The Lakers downed the Cavaliers 109-96. The Cavaliers couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Lakers. The Lakers answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Cavaliers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. Cavaliers' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Survive-and-advance type win.
