After Action Report
In Cleveland, the Pacers rolled past the Cavaliers 123-96. Pacers' offense had its way with the Cavaliers. The Pacers came in with something to prove after a loss; Pacers' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. Whispers of a Cavaliers locker-room rift aren't helping. Cavaliers' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Cavaliers · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Cavaliers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Pacers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
