After Action Report
The Cavaliers fended off the Hornets 100-94. The Hornets couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Cavaliers. The Cavaliers carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; 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.
