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.

What tipped it

  • Pacers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Pacers · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • 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.
