The Cavaliers survived the Nets 105-102. Cavaliers' offense had its way with the Nets. Second-chance points piled up for the Cavaliers; the Cavaliers played with the chip of a recent gutting loss. The Cavaliers locker room is humming, and it showed. Cavaliers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Style points be damned.
