After Action Report
In Cleveland, the Cavaliers outlasted the 76ers 101-91. Ugly basketball, but the Cavaliers did just enough. The Cavaliers answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Cavaliers' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Cavaliers locker room is humming, and it showed. Cavaliers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Survive-and-advance type win.
