After Action Report
In Charlotte, the Cavaliers outlasted the Bobcats 127-111. The Cavaliers got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Cavaliers came in with something to prove after a loss; Cavaliers' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. Tonight's Bobcats utilization choices clashed with the team identity.
