After Action Report
The Cavaliers blew the doors off the Pacers 119-92. The Cavaliers got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Cavaliers came in with something to prove after a loss; second-chance points piled up for the Pacers. The Pacers rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Pacers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Cavaliers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Cavaliers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
