After Action Report

The Warriors fended off the Cavaliers 106-98. The Cavaliers couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Warriors. Warriors' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; second-chance points piled up for the Warriors. The Warriors locker room is humming, and it showed. Warriors' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Survive-and-advance type win.
