The Indiana Pacers tightened up the playing rotation and took care of business on the road, beating the Cleveland Cavaliers 119-107 on Saturday night.
Offense was not a problem for the Pacers from the tip, as they swapped buckets with the Cavs throughout much of the first half before taking a five-point lead to halftime — a lead they would never relinquish.
But that doesn’t mean the W came easy. The Cavs kept things within two possessions until an early fourth quarter burst by the Pacers pushed the lead to double digits. Nate McMillan had to juggle his normal rotation after holding out Tyreke Evans.
