After Action Report

In a track meet, the Warriors blew the doors off the Cavaliers 132-102. Warriors torched the Cavaliers on the offensive end. Second-chance points piled up for the Warriors; you could feel the revenge motivation from the Warriors. The Warriors locker room is humming, and it showed. The Cavaliers rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Never a doubt in this one.
