After Action Report
The Cavaliers edged the Pacers 115-109. Cavaliers' offense had its way with the Pacers. Cavaliers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; fresh off a statement win, the Cavaliers stayed locked in. The Cavaliers bench chemistry carried them. Pacers' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.
What tipped it
- Pacers · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Pacers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Cavaliers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Cavaliers · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Cavaliers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
