After Action Report
In Indiana, the Pacers blew the doors off the Cavaliers 128-107. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Pacers cashed in. Pacers' defenders refused to give up clean looks; the Cavaliers pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Pacers locker room is humming, and it showed. Pacers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Pacers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
