After Action Report
The Trail Blazers held off the Cavaliers 108-100. The Cavaliers couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Trail Blazers. The Trail Blazers bent the defense out of shape from deep; the Cavaliers couldn't shake the cold spell. The Cavaliers looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Tonight's Cavaliers utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Survive-and-advance type win.
What tipped it
- Cavaliers · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Cavaliers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
