After Action Report
In Indiana, the Pacers rolled past the Cavaliers 134-105. The Cavaliers had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Pacers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; Pacers' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. The Cavaliers looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. The Cavaliers rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Never a doubt in this one.
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.
- Cavaliers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
