After Action Report
In Utah, the Cavaliers took care of the Jazz 103-89. The better team simply showed up tonight. Cavaliers' defenders refused to give up clean looks; the Jazz came in with something to prove after a loss. The Cavaliers bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Cavaliers per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Style points be damned.
