After Action Report
The Cavaliers edged the Trail Blazers 109-101. Cavaliers' scorers couldn't be contained. Cavaliers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Cavaliers bent the defense out of shape from deep. Early returns: the Cavaliers per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Survive-and-advance type win.
What tipped it
- Trail Blazers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Cavaliers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
