After Action Report
In Cleveland, the Cavaliers handled the 76ers 99-89. Ugly basketball, but the Cavaliers did just enough. Cavaliers' defenders refused to give up clean looks; 76ers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The Cavaliers locker room is humming, and it showed. The Cavaliers rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
