After Action Report
The Pacers knocked off the Cavaliers 120-113. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Pacers cashed in. The Pacers answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Pacers' outside barrage was a constant threat. Pacers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Add it to the list of nights the favorite forgot to show up.
