After Action Report
The Cavaliers stunned the 76ers 117-109 in overtime. The Cavaliers got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Cavaliers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Cavaliers came in with something to prove after a loss. On paper this one shouldn't have been close — basketball had other ideas.
