After Action Report
The Cavaliers pulled away from the Pacers 93-81. The Cavaliers won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. The Cavaliers bent the defense out of shape from deep; the Pacers are in a full-on tailspin. Whispers of a Pacers locker-room rift aren't helping. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Pacers · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Pacers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
