After Action Report
The Cavaliers outlasted the Bucks 103-96. The Cavaliers won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Cavaliers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Cavaliers' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. The Cavaliers locker room is humming, and it showed. The Cavaliers rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
