After Action Report
The Cavaliers snuck past the Wizards 116-114. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Cavaliers cashed in. Cavaliers' defenders refused to give up clean looks; Wizards' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Cavaliers bench chemistry carried them. The Cavaliers rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift.
