The Pacers ran roughshod over the Cavaliers 144-90. Pacers' offense had its way with the Cavaliers. The Pacers came in with something to prove after a loss; Cavaliers' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. The Cavaliers looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Cavaliers' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. It was over by halftime.
