After Action Report
The Cavaliers buried the Mavericks 130-88. Cavaliers' offense had its way with the Mavericks. Fresh off a statement win, the Cavaliers stayed locked in; the Cavaliers pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Cavaliers locker room is humming, and it showed. Tonight's Mavericks utilization choices clashed with the team identity. It was over by halftime.
