After Action Report

The Cavaliers survived the Magic 121-117. Cavaliers controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. Cavaliers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Cavaliers pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Cavaliers locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Cavaliers per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
