After Action Report
In Philadelphia, the Cavaliers snuck past the 76ers 96-93. Cavaliers' scorers couldn't be contained. The Cavaliers owned the glass, generating extra possessions; 76ers' skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends. The Cavaliers bench chemistry carried them. The Cavaliers rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Style points be damned.
