After Action Report
The Cavaliers outlasted the Rockets 125-115. The tempo dragged the Rockets into a rhythm they couldn't survive. The Cavaliers steamroller is in full effect right now; Cavaliers' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Cavaliers locker room is humming, and it showed. The Cavaliers rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
