After Action Report
In Cleveland, the Cavaliers buried the Pacers 116-92. Execution down the stretch made the difference. The Pacers couldn't shake the cold spell; Pacers' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Cavaliers locker room is humming, and it showed. Cavaliers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Cavaliers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Pacers · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Pacers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
