After Action Report
In Indiana, the Pacers pulled away from the Cavaliers 112-99. Pacers torched the Cavaliers on the offensive end. The Pacers came in with something to prove after a loss; Pacers' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Pacers locker room is humming, and it showed. The Pacers rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Style points be damned.
