After Action Report
In Indiana, the Pacers held off the Cavaliers 123-115. The tempo dragged the Cavaliers into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Pacers' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; Cavaliers' defenders refused to give up clean looks. Pacers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
