After Action Report
In Portland, the Cavaliers squeaked past the Trail Blazers 114-111. Cavaliers' scorers couldn't be contained. Cavaliers' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; the Trail Blazers couldn't shake the cold spell. Cavaliers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
