After Action Report
In a track meet, the Cavaliers ran roughshod over the Jazz 131-106. The breakneck pace played right into Cavaliers' hands. Cavaliers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Cavaliers played with the chip of a recent gutting loss. The Cavaliers locker room is humming, and it showed. The Cavaliers rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Garbage time started early.
