After Action Report
The Pacers buried the Cavaliers 105-78. The better team simply showed up tonight. The Pacers carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; the Pacers bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Pacers locker room is humming, and it showed. Pacers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Garbage time started early.

- Pacers · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
