After Action Report

The Cavaliers downed the Timberwolves 94-78. The Timberwolves couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Cavaliers. The Cavaliers carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one; Cavaliers' outside barrage was a constant threat. The Cavaliers bench chemistry carried them. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
