After Action Report
The Cavaliers survived the Hornets 105-102. The Cavaliers won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Cavaliers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Cavaliers' outside barrage was a constant threat. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Cavaliers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Hornets · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
