It’s Tuesday, May 13, and the Indiana Pacers (50-32) and Cleveland Cavaliers (64-18) are all set to square off from Rocket Arena in Cleveland for Game 5 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals.
Indiana is up 3-1 in the series after winning Game 4, 129-109. The Pacers were up by an NBA playoff record 41 points at halftime (80-39) before sitting the starters for most of the second half. Three different Pacers scored 20-plus points and seven different players scored double-figures.
The good news for the Cavaliers is that the series is back in Cleveland, but the bad news is they could be without their star and leading scorer, Donovan Mitchell.
