After Action Report
The Cavaliers snuck past the Pacers 105-103. The Pacers couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Cavaliers. Cavaliers' old heads steadied the ship in the swings; the Pacers came in with something to prove after a loss. The Cavaliers locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Cavaliers per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
