After Action Report
The Cavaliers squeaked past the Trail Blazers 112-108. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Cavaliers cashed in. Cavaliers' outside barrage was a constant threat; Trail Blazers' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. Trail Blazers' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.
What tipped it
- Trail Blazers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
