After Action Report

The Cavaliers rolled past the Jazz 118-92. The Cavaliers got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Cavaliers owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Cavaliers came in with something to prove after a loss. The Cavaliers locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Cavaliers per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
