After Action Report
In Cleveland, the Cavaliers snuck past the Raptors 121-116. The breakneck pace played right into Cavaliers' hands. The Cavaliers answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; the Cavaliers pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Cavaliers locker room is humming, and it showed. Raptors' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.
