The Pacers have now won two in a row after knocking off the Cleveland Cavaliers in Bankers Life Fieldhouse, 102-95. Defense and rebounding have been issues so far this season, but that was not the case tonight, as Indiana outrebounded Cleveland and held them to under 40 percent shooting en route to the victory.
But by no means was this one easy for the home team. Indiana and Cleveland were in a close battle well into the fourth quarter. In the final period, the Pacers led by four, 72-68, before going on a 10-3 run to lead 82-71 with 7:46 to play.
