After Action Report
The Cavaliers survived the Hornets 112-111. Cavaliers torched the Hornets on the offensive end. Cavaliers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Cavaliers owned the glass, generating extra possessions. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Cavaliers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Cavaliers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Cavaliers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
