Cavs Take 2-0 Series Lead With 117-111 Win Over Pacers

Game 2 of the Cleveland Cavaliers - Indiana Pacers series ended up being another nail-biter. The Cavs led by as many as 19 in the third quarter, but the Pacers didn't quit. The Pacers cut it to a five-point game with under two minutes to play thanks to a 10-0 run, but the Cavs were able to close out the game and pick up a 117-111 win.

The 3-point shooting was sharp for the Cavs, who hit 13 of 30 attempts (43.3 percent). That helped make up for a sloppy game from the Cavs, who committed 18 turnovers. Eight of those were by LeBron James.

Ignoring the turnovers, James had a monster game. He put up 25 points, 10 rebounds, seven assists and four blocks. Kyrie Irving led the way on offense, with 37 points. Kevin Love had a double-double with 26 points and 11 boards. 

Paul George had a strong game, with 32 points, eight boards and seven assists, but it wasn't enough. Jeff Teague chipped in 23 points, while Thad Young had 16 points. 

Game 3 of the series is Thursday in Indiana. Tip-off is set for 7 p.m. ET.
