The Indiana Pacers are heading back to the Eastern Conference Finals.
Tyrese Haliburton and the Pacers surged held on late on Tuesday night to grab a 114-105 win over the Cleveland Cavaliers at Rocket Arena in Game 5 of their series. That officially gave the Pacers the 4-1 series win and punched their ticket to a second consecutive finals.
It also sent the top-ranked team in the Eastern Conference home early. Cleveland, which won 15 straight games to start the year, won 64 games in the regular season — which was its second-best output in franchise history.
