After Action Report

The Cavaliers blew the doors off the Pacers 121-87. The Cavaliers got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Cavaliers owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Pacers couldn't shake the cold spell. The Cavaliers locker room is humming, and it showed. The Cavaliers rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Garbage time started early.

What tipped it

  • Cavaliers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Cavaliers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Pacers · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Pacers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
