After Action Report
In Seattle, the Cavaliers upended the SuperSonics 129-118. The Cavaliers got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Cavaliers' skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends; the Cavaliers bent the defense out of shape from deep. Cavaliers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. An upset for the books.
