After Action Report
In Los Angeles, the Cavaliers squeaked past the Lakers 117-113. Cavaliers' offense had its way with the Lakers. The Cavaliers came in with something to prove after a loss; the Cavaliers bent the defense out of shape from deep. Whispers of a Lakers locker-room rift aren't helping.
