After Action Report
The Cavaliers held off the Raptors 88-80. Ugly basketball, but the Cavaliers did just enough. The Cavaliers carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; Cavaliers' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. Tonight's Raptors utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Style points be damned.
