After Action Report
The Pacers pulled away from the Cavaliers 94-75. Ugly basketball, but the Pacers did just enough. The Pacers couldn't shake the cold spell; the Pacers bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Cavaliers looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. The Cavaliers rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
