If the Pacers lose this, it'll be a historic choke job considering how many players are out for Cleveland. Siakam and Hali really **** the bed.

This would be a gut check win for Cleveland. I mean no Mobley, Garland and Hunter and still coming out with a win, would be awesome.

Pacers aren't allowed to contest Mitchell shots apparently

Is it just me or does Max Strus look like the Winter Soldier?

I just don't get it. We do this sometimes, where we let Nembhard run all the half court offense.

Put the ball in Haliburtons hands. Sheesh, it makes no sense.

Not sure about that last foul. Mitchell just threw himself into him.

Why does Mitchell get RS fouls called for him? Soft stuff, he's pushing off, bodying up and then hits the deck and boom - whistle
