After Action Report
In Cleveland, the Cavaliers ran roughshod over the 76ers 141-89. Cavaliers' scorers couldn't be contained. Cavaliers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; second-chance points piled up for the Cavaliers. The Cavaliers locker room is humming, and it showed. 76ers' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Cavaliers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
