After Action Report
The Pacers squeaked past the Cavaliers 100-98. Ugly basketball, but the Pacers did just enough. Pacers' defenders refused to give up clean looks; Cavaliers' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. The Pacers locker room is humming, and it showed. The Pacers rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
