After Action Report
The Cavaliers handled the Trail Blazers 101-90. The tempo dragged the Trail Blazers into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Cavaliers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Cavaliers' skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends. Survive-and-advance type win.

- Trail Blazers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Trail Blazers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
