After Action Report
In Cleveland, the Cavaliers survived the Mavericks 103-101. Ugly basketball, but the Cavaliers did just enough. Fresh off a statement win, the Cavaliers stayed locked in; Cavaliers' defenders refused to give up clean looks. Early returns: the Cavaliers per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Style points be damned.
