After Action Report
In New Jersey, the Cavaliers snuck past the Nets 105-104. Ugly basketball, but the Cavaliers did just enough. Nets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Nets 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.
