The Cavaliers bounced back to the win column this evening while ten Cavaliers saw the floor. Of the ten who played significant minutes, eight reached the scoring column on a night that saw the team go 50% from the floor. There was a clear emphasis on defense tonight as Walsh held Lake Erie to only 22 first-half points on a 37% field goal percentage, while out-rebounding the Storm by 14. The Cavs used their size effectively, working the ball into the paint, and asserting their physical dominance over an undersized Lake Erie team.
