After Action Report
In a track meet, the Cavaliers survived the Trail Blazers 134-130. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Cavaliers cashed in. The Cavaliers answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Cavaliers' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Trail Blazers looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger.
What tipped it
- Cavaliers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Trail Blazers · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Trail Blazers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
