After Action Report
The Cavaliers snuck past the Bobcats 91-86. The Cavaliers won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Second-chance points piled up for the Cavaliers; Cavaliers' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. Bobcats' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Style points be damned.
