After Action Report
The Cavaliers blew the doors off the Pacers 127-98. Cavaliers' offense had its way with the Pacers. The Cavaliers answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Cavaliers' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. The Cavaliers bench chemistry carried them. Pacers' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Never a doubt in this one.

- Pacers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Cavaliers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Cavaliers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
