After Action Report
The Warriors squeaked past the Cavaliers 102-101. The Cavaliers couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Warriors. The Cavaliers answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; the Cavaliers bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Warriors locker room is humming, and it showed. The Cavaliers rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Style points be damned.
