After Action Report

In a track meet, the Cavaliers squeaked past the Kings 122-117. The tempo dragged the Kings into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Cavaliers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Cavaliers came in with something to prove after a loss. The Cavaliers locker room is humming, and it showed. Cavaliers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
