After Action Report
The Cavaliers blew the doors off the Lakers 106-82. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Cavaliers' shot-blockers turned the paint into a no-fly zone; shots just aren't falling for the Cavaliers lately. The Lakers looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Never a doubt in this one.
