After Action Report
In Indiana, the Pacers outlasted the Cavaliers 108-96. The Pacers won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Pacers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Cavaliers carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one. The Cavaliers rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Survive-and-advance type win.
What tipped it
- Pacers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Cavaliers · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
