After Action Report
The Pacers rolled past the Cavaliers 139-118. Pacers torched the Cavaliers on the offensive end. Pacers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Pacers pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Pacers locker room is humming, and it showed. Cavaliers' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.
What tipped it
- Pacers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Pacers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Cavaliers · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
