After Action Report

The Cavaliers snuck past the Rockets 118-117. Cavaliers' offense had its way with the Rockets. The Cavaliers ride keeps rolling — they're catching fire; Cavaliers' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Cavaliers bench chemistry carried them. Cavaliers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Style points be damned.
