Cavs survives Pacers onslaught, 127-124

Indiana Pacers powered a late 10-0 run in the last quarter against Cleveland who survived to win the match 127-124. Another disappointing show from Pacers was seen during the NBA match, the team had cut through an eight-point deficit in the final quarter to lead by 124-122 but let the lead vanish in thin air when Darius Garland imploded on the floor and got support from Evan Mobley to tie the match.

In the final moments, Pacers lost another close match with Jalen Smith’s intentionally foul as Cleveland regained the lead they enjoyed during the entire match and finish with the same despite the hiccup in between. Pacers may have outscored Cavs 37-26 in the fourth quarter, but it was Cleveland’s consistency in the second and third quarter that helped them with the win.
