In Cleveland, the Cavaliers took care of the Pacers 94-77. Ugly basketball, but the Cavaliers did just enough. Fresh off a statement win, the Cavaliers stayed locked in; Cavaliers' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. The Cavaliers locker room is humming, and it showed. Tonight's Pacers utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Survive-and-advance type win.
