After Action Report
The Cavaliers buried the Pacers 117-93. The Pacers had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Second-chance points piled up for the Cavaliers; the Cavaliers looked unstoppable — pure Buzzsaw mode. The Cavaliers bench chemistry carried them. Pacers' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Never a doubt in this one.
