Seventh-seeded Indiana looks to upset second-seeded Toronto Sunday.
Once more, for playoff survival, the Indiana Pacers and Toronto Raptors will decide their Eastern Conference series in a deciding Game 7 at 8 p.m. Sunday at Air Canada Centre.
Pacers All-Star forward Paul George has been the most dominant player, averaging 27.5 points, 6.8 rebounds and 4.8 assists. If the second-seeded Pacers were going to have a chance at knocking off the second-seeded Raptors, George had to be the catalyst.
But as an unforgettable Game 5 meltdown at Toronto reminded — after George scored 39 points but the Pacers blew a 13-point lead to start the fourth quarter in a 102-99 loss — Indiana needs a team effort to advance to the second round.
