After Action Report
The Cavaliers demolished the Lakers 109-88. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Cavaliers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; second-chance points piled up for the Cavaliers. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it

- Cavaliers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Cavaliers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Cavaliers · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
