Pacers clinch home-court advantage in first round of playoffs

  • By defeating the Cleveland Cavaliers 114-112 on Thursday at Gainbridge Fieldhouse, the Indiana Pacers earned the right to host their opening playoff game.
  • This victory capped a strong late-season push that saw Indiana rise from eighth place in early January to clinch the fourth seed with a 49-31 record.
  • Tyrese Haliburton led the Pacers with 23 points, 10 assists, and 8 rebounds, including a crucial four-point play, while the Cavaliers rested most of their starters after clinching the top Eastern seed.
  • Indiana has won six straight games and 13 of their last 16, and they may face either the Milwaukee Bucks or Detroit Pistons, with the Bucks currently holding the fifth seed.
  • The Pacers’ home-court advantage and momentum suggest they could build on their recent success, while Detroit or Milwaukee remain possible playoff opponents amid uncertain rosters.
