After Action Report
The Cavaliers rolled past the Suns 144-88. The breakneck pace played right into Cavaliers' hands. The Cavaliers owned the glass, generating extra possessions; second-chance points piled up for the Suns. Whispers of a Suns locker-room rift aren't helping. Garbage time started early.
