Cavaliers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Cavaliers carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one. The Cavaliers locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Cavaliers per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Never a doubt in this one.
