After Action Report
The Cavaliers took care of the Pacers 100-88. Ugly basketball, but the Cavaliers did just enough. The Cavaliers came in with something to prove after a loss; Cavaliers' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Cavaliers locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Cavaliers per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Style points be damned.
