After Action Report
The Pacers blew the doors off the Cavaliers 120-99. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Pacers cashed in. Pacers' defenders refused to give up clean looks; shots just aren't falling for the Cavaliers lately. The Pacers bench chemistry carried them. Pacers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
What tipped it
- Cavaliers · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Pacers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
