After Action Report

The Cavaliers looked unstoppable — pure Buzzsaw mode; the Cavaliers pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Cavaliers locker room is humming, and it showed. Cavaliers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. It was over by halftime.
