After Action Report
The Pacers shocked the Cavaliers 119-115. The breakneck pace played right into Pacers' hands. Pacers' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; the Cavaliers carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one. Early returns: the Pacers per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. On paper this one shouldn't have been close — basketball had other ideas.
