After Action Report
In Los Angeles, the Cavaliers took care of the Lakers 117-107. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Cavaliers cashed in. The Cavaliers played with the chip of a recent gutting loss; Cavaliers' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. Early returns: the Cavaliers per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
What tipped it
- Lakers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Cavaliers · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
