After Action Report
The Cavaliers demolished the Pacers 89-69. Ugly basketball, but the Cavaliers did just enough. The Cavaliers answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Cavaliers' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. Pacers' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Cavaliers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Cavaliers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
