After Action Report
The Cavaliers ran roughshod over the Pacers 91-67. Ugly basketball, but the Cavaliers did just enough. The Cavaliers answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Pacers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. Tonight's Pacers utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Cavaliers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Cavaliers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Pacers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Pacers · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
