After Action Report
The Pacers pulled away from the Cavaliers 117-104. Pacers' scorers couldn't be contained. The Pacers owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Pacers pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Pacers locker room is humming, and it showed. Tonight's Cavaliers utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Pacers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Pacers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Cavaliers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
