After Action Report
In Cleveland, the Trail Blazers took care of the Cavaliers 118-99. The Trail Blazers got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Trail Blazers came in with something to prove after a loss; Trail Blazers' outside barrage was a constant threat. Cavaliers' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.
