After Action Report
The Cavaliers handled the Lakers 103-85. The Lakers couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Cavaliers. Cavaliers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Lakers carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one. Early returns: the Cavaliers per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Survive-and-advance type win.
What tipped it
- Cavaliers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
