After Action Report
In Cleveland, the Cavaliers demolished the Trail Blazers 123-92. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Cavaliers cashed in. The Cavaliers ride keeps rolling — they're catching fire; Cavaliers' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Cavaliers locker room is humming, and it showed. Trail Blazers' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. It was over by halftime.
