After Action Report

In Indiana, the Cavaliers outlasted the Pacers 118-110. Cavaliers' offense had its way with the Pacers. Cavaliers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Cavaliers pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Cavaliers bench chemistry carried them. Cavaliers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.

What tipped it

  • Pacers · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Cavaliers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Cavaliers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
