After Action Report
The Cavaliers demolished the Rockets 128-106. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Cavaliers cashed in. Cavaliers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Cavaliers came in with something to prove after a loss. The Cavaliers locker room is humming, and it showed. It was over by halftime.
