After Action Report
In Indiana, the Pacers handled the Cavaliers 106-95. Ugly basketball, but the Pacers did just enough. The Pacers answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Pacers' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Cavaliers rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Pacers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Cavaliers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
