After Action Report
In Utah, the Cavaliers blew the doors off the Jazz 117-96. Cavaliers' scorers couldn't be contained. The Cavaliers came in with something to prove after a loss; Cavaliers' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Jazz rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. It was over by halftime.
