After Action Report
The Cavaliers rolled past the Lakers 131-100. The breakneck pace played right into Cavaliers' hands. Fresh off a statement win, the Cavaliers stayed locked in; 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. Garbage time started early.
