After Action Report

The Cavaliers squeaked past the 76ers 117-113. The 76ers had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Cavaliers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Cavaliers bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Cavaliers bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Cavaliers per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
