After Action Report
The Cavaliers pulled away from the Trail Blazers 107-88. Ugly basketball, but the Cavaliers did just enough. Second-chance points piled up for the Cavaliers; the Cavaliers answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Cavaliers locker room is humming, and it showed. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.

- Cavaliers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Cavaliers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Cavaliers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Trail Blazers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
