After Action Report
The Cavaliers ran roughshod over the Trail Blazers 137-111. The breakneck pace played right into Cavaliers' hands. 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. Cavaliers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Trail Blazers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Cavaliers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Cavaliers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
