On Thursday afternoon, in the final regular season game of the fakakta calendar year that was 2020, the Cavaliers and Pacers square off at Bankers Life Fieldhouse in Indy.
After running off three straight wins to start the season, both teams are coming off tough losses – the Wine & Gold’s defeat due to a sloppy start; Indiana’s, a sloppy finish.
The Cavaliers got off to a terrible start in Tuesday’s home loss to the Knicks, scoring just 15 points in the opening quarter. They weren’t much better the rest of the way, shooting 36 percent from the floor and just 22 percent from long-range.
