The Indiana Pacers dominantly rediscovered their rhythm on Sunday. They overpowered the Cleveland Cavaliers 129-109 in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference semifinals at Gainbridge Fieldhouse.
From the opening tip, Indiana took control and never looked back. By halftime, the Pacers had built a jaw-dropping 41-point lead over the top-seeded Cavaliers. That margin tied the largest halftime lead in NBA playoff history. It was a complete team effort, as seven Pacers players scored in double digits.
The blowout win pushed the Pacers ahead 3-1 in the best-of-seven series. They now sit just one win away from advancing to the Eastern Conference Finals.
Historic Efficiency From Pascal Siakam And Balanced Attack Lead The Indiana Pacers To Game 4 Win
Pascal Siakam led the way with a near-perfect shooting performance. He scored 21 points on 9-of-10 shooting from the field and 2-of-2 from beyond the arc. Siakam also added six rebounds and three assists. His outing marked Pacer’s most efficient 20-point playoff game this century, making him the first Indiana player since Jalen Rose in 1999 to score 21 or more points on 90 percent shooting in a playoff game.
