After Action Report
In Indiana, the Pacers ran roughshod over the Cavaliers 151-100. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Pacers cashed in. You could feel the revenge motivation from the Pacers; the Pacers bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Pacers locker room is humming, and it showed. It was over by halftime.
What tipped it
- Pacers · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
- Pacers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Cavaliers · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Cavaliers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
