After Action Report
The Cavaliers buried the Lakers 105-79. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Fresh off a statement win, the Cavaliers stayed locked in; Cavaliers' defenders refused to give up clean looks. Cavaliers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Never a doubt in this one.
