After Action Report
The Cavaliers ran roughshod over the Pacers 116-96. The Cavaliers got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Cavaliers looked unstoppable — pure Buzzsaw mode; Cavaliers' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Cavaliers bench chemistry carried them. The Cavaliers rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Garbage time started early.

- Cavaliers · Buzzsaw An 8+ game winning streak — they cannot be stopped (until the league catches up).
