For three quarters, the Indiana Pacers and Cleveland Cavaliers traded blows in an exciting, up and down game. The offensive display was impressive as neither team was willing to back down, with tough shots and big rebounds substituting for an inability for either team to get any stops.
Equally impressive was how both teams managed to adjust to the game flipping on a dime in the fourth quarter, as the fast-paced action came to a screeching halt with both teams going ice cold in the fourth. A 13-2 start for the Pacers proved to be the game’s only double figure lead, but that was not only up to both teams making shots, but Cleveland’s ability to stay alive by forcing stops in the fourth.
