After Action Report
In Cleveland, the Cavaliers survived the Pacers 127-125. The tempo dragged the Pacers into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Cavaliers' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; Pacers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition.
What tipped it
- Pacers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Pacers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
