After Action Report

The Pacers ran roughshod over the Cavaliers 136-95. The Pacers got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Pacers couldn't shake the cold spell; second-chance points piled up for the Cavaliers. Never a doubt in this one.

What tipped it

  • Pacers · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Pacers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • Cavaliers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Cavaliers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
