After Action Report
The Cavaliers outlasted the Pacers 112-99. The tempo dragged the Pacers into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Cavaliers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Cavaliers pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Cavaliers locker room is humming, and it showed. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Cavaliers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Cavaliers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Pacers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
