After Action Report
The Cavaliers rolled past the Pacers 111-87. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Cavaliers cashed in. The Cavaliers played with the chip of a recent gutting loss; Cavaliers' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Cavaliers rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Never a doubt in this one.
