After Action Report
The Cavaliers snuck past the Lakers 104-100. The Lakers couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Cavaliers. The Cavaliers ride keeps rolling — they're catching fire; the Cavaliers bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Cavaliers locker room is humming, and it showed. Style points be damned.
