After Action Report
In Utah, the Cavaliers ran roughshod over the Jazz 126-94. The tempo dragged the Jazz into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Cavaliers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Cavaliers pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Cavaliers bench chemistry carried them. The Cavaliers rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Garbage time started early.
