After Action Report
The Pacers downed the Cavaliers 99-85. Ugly basketball, but the Pacers did just enough. The Pacers carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; Pacers' defenders refused to give up clean looks. Pacers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
