After Action Report
In Cleveland, the Cavaliers rolled past the Pacers 120-84. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Cavaliers cashed in. The Cavaliers ride keeps rolling — they're catching fire; the Cavaliers pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Pacers looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Tonight's Pacers utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Cavaliers · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
- Pacers · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Pacers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
