After Action Report
In Cleveland, the Pacers outlasted the Cavaliers 122-106. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Pacers cashed in. Pacers' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes; the Cavaliers pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Cavaliers rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
