After Action Report
In New Jersey, the Cavaliers downed the Nets 105-95. The Cavaliers won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. The Nets are in a full-on tailspin; Nets' outside barrage was a constant threat. The Cavaliers bench chemistry carried them. Nets' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Survive-and-advance type win.
