In an encounter full of emotions, the Indiana Pacers achieved an impressive victory over the Cleveland Cavaliers with a score of 120-119, taking a 2-0 lead in the Eastern Conference semifinals series.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The game, played on Tuesday night, saw the Pacers score the last eight points in just 47.9 seconds, culminating in a crucial three-pointer by Tyrese Haliburton with 1.1 seconds left.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Haliburton was key in the comeback, scoring 11 of his 19 points in the last 12 minutes of the game. After a steal by Andrew Nembhard, the Pacers looked for a three-pointer to tie the game, but Haliburton chose to drive and was fouled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Myles Turner and Aaron Nesmith led the Pacers’ offense, both with 23 points each. This victory marks the first time Indiana has won the first two games of a playoff series on the road since 1994.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Donovan Mitchell shined for the Cavaliers with 48 points, but his team suffered the absence of key players due to injuries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Among those absent were Evan Mobley, NBA Defensive Player of the Year, and De’Andre Hunter, who were injured in the first game, as well as Darius Garland, who missed his fourth consecutive postseason game.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
