After Action Report
The Cavaliers demolished the Lakers 127-99. The Cavaliers got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Cavaliers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Cavaliers' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Cavaliers locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Cavaliers per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
What tipped it
- Cavaliers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Cavaliers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
