After Action Report
The Cavaliers blew the doors off the Hornets 144-103. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Cavaliers cashed in. Second-chance points piled up for the Cavaliers; the Cavaliers answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. Hornets' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Garbage time started early.
