After Action Report
The Cavaliers fended off the Raptors 103-96. Ugly basketball, but the Cavaliers did just enough. Cavaliers' defenders refused to give up clean looks; the Raptors came in with something to prove after a loss. The Cavaliers locker room is humming, and it showed. Cavaliers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
