After Action Report

The Cavaliers handled the Warriors 104-93. Cavaliers' scorers couldn't be contained. Second-chance points piled up for the Cavaliers; fresh off a statement win, the Cavaliers stayed locked in. The Cavaliers bench chemistry carried them. The Cavaliers rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
