After Action Report
The Cavaliers edged the Bobcats 109-101. Ugly basketball, but the Cavaliers did just enough. Second-chance points piled up for the Cavaliers; the Cavaliers bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Cavaliers locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Cavaliers per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Survive-and-advance type win.
