After Action Report
In Indiana, the Cavaliers squeaked past the Pacers 117-114. The breakneck pace played right into Cavaliers' hands. Cavaliers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; second-chance points piled up for the Cavaliers.
What tipped it
- Pacers · Buzzsaw An 8+ game winning streak — they cannot be stopped (until the league catches up).
- Cavaliers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Cavaliers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
