After Action Report
The Cavaliers took care of the 76ers 141-131. The tempo dragged the 76ers into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Cavaliers' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; 76ers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. Cavaliers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
