After Action Report
The Lakers survived the Cavaliers 126-125. The tempo dragged the Cavaliers into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Lakers' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; the Cavaliers bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Cavaliers rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
