After Action Report
The Cavaliers handled the Lakers 119-107. The Lakers had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Cavaliers' defenders refused to give up clean looks; the Lakers bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Cavaliers bench chemistry carried them. Lakers' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.
What tipped it
- Cavaliers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
