After Action Report
In Cleveland, the Pacers squeaked past the Cavaliers 112-111. The Pacers won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Pacers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Pacers answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Pacers bench chemistry carried them. The Cavaliers rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Pacers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Pacers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
