The Cavaliers ran roughshod over the Pacers 130-104. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Cavaliers cashed in. Second-chance points piled up for the Cavaliers; the Pacers couldn't shake the cold spell. The Cavaliers bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Cavaliers per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. It was over by halftime.
