After Action Report
The Cavaliers ran roughshod over the Pacers 118-89. The Pacers had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Cavaliers' old heads steadied the ship in the swings; Pacers' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Pacers looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. The Pacers rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. It was over by halftime.
What tipped it
- Pacers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
