After Action Report
The Cavaliers survived the Celtics 102-97. The Cavaliers won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. The Cavaliers locker room is humming, and it showed. Cavaliers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Style points be damned.
