After Action Report

The Pacers knocked off the Cavaliers 101-87. The Cavaliers couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Pacers. Second-chance points piled up for the Pacers; the Cavaliers owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Pacers bench chemistry carried them. The Cavaliers rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. On paper this one shouldn't have been close — basketball had other ideas.
