After Action Report
In a track meet, the Cavaliers squeaked past the Bobcats 117-113. The tempo dragged the Bobcats into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Cavaliers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; Cavaliers' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Cavaliers locker room is humming, and it showed. Cavaliers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Style points be damned.
