Can Paul George and the Pacers take advantage of a vulnerable Cavaliers defense? Or will the reigning champs coast by?
If you knew prior to the season that the Cleveland Cavaliers would face the Indiana Pacers in the opening round of the NBA playoffs, you'd probably be thinking it was because the Pacers clung to the 8 seed.
Of course, that's not the case, and Indiana has secured the Eastern Conference's 7 seed for the second straight season. Last year, they pushed the Toronto Raptors to seven games in the opening round after stealing Game 1 in Toronto.
