After Action Report
The Trail Blazers survived the Cavaliers 118-113. Trail Blazers' offense had its way with the Cavaliers. Fresh off a statement win, the Cavaliers stayed locked in; Cavaliers' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. Whispers of a Cavaliers locker-room rift aren't helping. The Cavaliers rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
What tipped it
- Cavaliers · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Cavaliers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
