After Action Report
In Sacramento, the Cavaliers pulled away from the Kings 102-85. Ugly basketball, but the Cavaliers did just enough. Second-chance points piled up for the Cavaliers; second-chance points piled up for the Kings. Whispers of a Kings locker-room rift aren't helping. The Kings rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Style points be damned.
