After Action Report
In Cleveland, the Cavaliers edged the Nets 107-98. Ugly basketball, but the Cavaliers did just enough. Cavaliers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; fresh off a statement win, the Cavaliers stayed locked in. The Cavaliers locker room is humming, and it showed. Nets' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
