How the Pacers pulled off another unlikely clutch playoff win
- The Indiana Pacers edged the Cleveland Cavaliers 120-119 on Tuesday, giving them a 2-0 advantage in their playoff series within the Eastern Conference semifinals.
- The Cavaliers were without three important contributors—including Evan Mobley, who earned the NBA's top defensive honor, and All-Star guard Darius Garland—due to injuries sustained either in the first game or earlier.
- The Pacers erased a 20-point gap and finished the game by scoring eight unanswered points in just under 48 seconds, capped by Tyrese Haliburton’s decisive 3-pointer with 1.1 seconds left on the clock.
- Haliburton contributed 19 points while shooting efficiently, hitting seven of his eleven attempts, and added nine rebounds along with a crucial offensive board following a missed free throw late in the contest.
- This marks the first time since 1994 the Pacers won the first two games of a playoff road series, while Cleveland lost its first two home playoff games for the first time since 1996.
