After Action Report
In New Orleans, the Cavaliers knocked off the Hornets 113-92. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Cavaliers cashed in. The Cavaliers answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Cavaliers' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. The Cavaliers bench chemistry carried them. Tonight's Hornets utilization choices clashed with the team identity. On paper this one shouldn't have been close — basketball had other ideas.
