After Action Report

In a track meet, the Cavaliers survived the Raptors 138-137 in overtime. Cavaliers controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. Shots just aren't falling for the Cavaliers lately; Raptors' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. Cavaliers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
