After Action Report
The Pacers ran roughshod over the Cavaliers 130-83. The Pacers got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Pacers couldn't shake the cold spell; the Cavaliers are in a full-on tailspin. The Cavaliers looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Pacers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Pacers · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Cavaliers · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Cavaliers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
