After Action Report
The Pacers blew the doors off the Cavaliers 113-85. The Cavaliers couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Pacers. Fresh off a statement win, the Pacers stayed locked in; Cavaliers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The Pacers locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Pacers per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Never a doubt in this one.
