After Action Report
The Cavaliers snuck past the Raptors 101-97. The Raptors couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Cavaliers. The Cavaliers came in with something to prove after a loss; the Raptors bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Cavaliers locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Cavaliers per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Style points be damned.
