After Action Report
The Cavaliers squeaked past the Hornets 88-83. The Hornets couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Cavaliers. The Cavaliers came in with something to prove after a loss; Cavaliers' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Cavaliers rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
