After Action Report
The Cavaliers blew the doors off the Pacers 114-79. Cavaliers torched the Pacers on the offensive end. The Cavaliers answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Pacers' skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends. The Pacers looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Early returns: the Cavaliers per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
What tipped it
- Cavaliers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Pacers · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Pacers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
