US EditionMitchell, shorthanded Cavaliers don't have enough at end
- On Tuesday night, the Cleveland Cavaliers lost 120-119 to the Indiana Pacers in Game 2 of their Eastern Conference semifinals series at Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse.
- The Cavaliers faced a significant challenge entering the game, as they were missing two star players, Evan Mobley and Darius Garland, along with important bench contributor De'Andre Hunter due to injuries, which impacted their usual lineup and overall depth.
- Donovan Mitchell topped Cleveland’s scoring by putting up 48 points while making half of his field goal attempts and adding nine assists, including a critical pass to Max Strus that gave the Cavs a late lead; however, Indiana responded with eight unanswered points in the final 48 seconds.
- With 1.1 seconds left, Indiana's Tyrese Haliburton hit a step-back three-pointer to win the game, completing a comeback from a seven-point deficit despite Cleveland’s defensive effort and physical play focus.
- Down 0-2 and facing two road games, the Cavaliers hope to get some injured players back for Game 3 on Friday and rely on their past ability to rally from such deficits as they seek to extend the series.
