After Action Report
In a track meet, the Cavaliers snuck past the Hornets 116-113. The Cavaliers won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Cavaliers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Cavaliers came in with something to prove after a loss. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Cavaliers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Cavaliers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
