After Action Report
In a track meet, the Cavaliers blew the doors off the Pacers 122-100. The Cavaliers got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Cavaliers came in with something to prove after a loss; the Pacers played with the chip of a recent gutting loss. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Pacers · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
- Cavaliers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Cavaliers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
