After Action Report
In Cleveland, the Cavaliers ran roughshod over the Pacers 113-88. Cavaliers controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. Fresh off a statement win, the Pacers stayed locked in; Pacers' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Cavaliers locker room is humming, and it showed. Garbage time started early.
