After Action Report
The Cavaliers snuck past the Mavericks 97-92. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Cavaliers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Cavaliers owned the glass, generating extra possessions. Tonight's Mavericks utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Survive-and-advance type win.
