After Action Report

In a track meet, the Cavaliers ran roughshod over the Trail Blazers 135-96. Cavaliers' offense had its way with the Trail Blazers. Cavaliers' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; second-chance points piled up for the Trail Blazers. Early returns: the Cavaliers per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.
