After Action Report
In San Antonio, the Cavaliers snuck past the Spurs 128-123. The Cavaliers got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Cavaliers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; second-chance points piled up for the Cavaliers. Cavaliers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
