After Action Report
The Cavaliers pulled away from the Lakers 103-90. Cavaliers' scorers couldn't be contained. Cavaliers' skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends; the Cavaliers bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Lakers looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Lakers' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.
