NBA playoffs: The wildest numbers from the Pacers' stunning comeback vs. Cavaliers

With 48 seconds left on the clock Tuesday, the Cleveland Cavaliers led the Indiana Pacers 119-112, a hard-fought win in hand after entering the night significantly shorthanded.

The longer answer is the Pacers whipped out their second epic comeback of the playoffs, and the result is an 0-2 hole for the Eastern Conference's top team as their series heads to Indiana. The Pacers' comeback required something like five or six things to perfectly right, in a way you just don't see with any regularity in a basketball game.
