The Indiana Pacers will take on the Cleveland Cavaliers for Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals. After taking a 2-0 lead, the Pacers came up short in Game 3, which led to a blowout loss against the Cavs at their home. So this begs the question, can the Pacers win tonight to take a commanding 3-1 lead in the series, or will the Cavs come back to tie the series up before heading back home? Let’s find out more.

The Indiana Pacers have looked amazing so far in the playoffs. They were the fourth seed coming into the playoffs and were highly underrated. Led by their star, Tyrese Haliburton, the Pacers have played amazing team basketball unlike teams that are heavily dependent on isolation scoring from their best players. And that has been the success recipe for the Pacers so far. The Pacers surprisingly won both games at Cleveland and took a 2-0 lead. However, in Game 3, the Cavs blew them out of their own home court, and Haliburton mightily struggled with his shots, finishing with just 4 points on 30 minutes.
The Cavs are desperate to tie the series, which means for the Pacers, they need to play with a lot of urgency if they want to win this series and advance for the second straight time to the Eastern Conference Finals. Tyrese Haliburton has to step up in Game 4, and perform the way he did in the first two games. And the production from Andrew Nembhard, and Aaron Nesmith also needs to be similar to what they achieved in Games 1 and 2.
The Cleveland Cavaliers bounced back in game 3 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals after being down 0-2, losing both games at home. The biggest reason why the Cavs were able to take game 3 is because of the return of their point guard Darius Garland, who had missed the first two games of the series. Garland’s presence in Game 3 made significant improvement for the Cavs as the ball movement was much better, and he helped facilitate the offense.
The Cavs will need to lock in tonight as they do not want to go down 3-1 in the series against a team like the Indiana Pacers. With every player back on the roster, the Cavaliers are in full strength to take on the Pacers, which is an extremely good sign going into Game 4.
The Cavs do not have anyone listed on the injury report for tonight’s game against the Pacers.
The Pacers are only missing Isaiah Jackson from the lineup for tonight’s game as he is currently dealing with a right Achilles tendon tear.
