After Action Report
The Cavaliers squeaked past the Trail Blazers 110-108. Cavaliers' offense had its way with the Trail Blazers. Fresh off a statement win, the Cavaliers stayed locked in; the Cavaliers bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Cavaliers bench chemistry carried them. Cavaliers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
