After Action Report
The Cavaliers blew the doors off the SuperSonics 115-92. The Cavaliers got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Cavaliers couldn't shake the cold spell; the SuperSonics owned the glass, generating extra possessions. Early returns: the Cavaliers per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.

- SuperSonics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
