Lose this, and you&rsquo;re out, and all those dreams after finishing first in the East die out. While for Indiana, this game provides an opportunity to do the unthinkable. Who would have thought that the underdogs would dominate the first seed in the Cavaliers vs. Pacers series. But such is the NBA.<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Cleveland Cavaliers Preview<\/h2><p>The Cleveland Cavaliers had a horrid performance in game 4 against Indiana Pacers. It might have been their worst not only in this season but also in a couple of years. Records were broken as the Indiana Pacers took a 41 point lead in the first half.<\/p><p>The offense was almost non-existent, with no player able to draw the momentum away from the Pacers. Donovan Mitchell in the first half managed just 12 points. While other prominent players remained in single digits. The Cavaliers showed some fight in the second half, but it was too late in the 129-109 loss.<\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Ty Jerome&rsquo;s stats over the last three games for the Cavaliers:<br><br>3.7 points<br>2.7 turnovers<br>1.0 assists<br>16% FG%<br><br>Jerome is being attacked on almost every possession he&rsquo;s on the floor against the Pacers. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/ASznovYxIw\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>pic.twitter.com\/ASznovYxIw<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Evan Sidery (@esidery) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/esidery\/status\/1921958856621515232?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>May 12, 2025<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure><p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/how-many-times-have-teams-come-back-from-1-3-deficit-in-nba-playoffs\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>Also Read: How Many Times Have Teams Come Back From 1&ndash;3 Deficit in NBA Playoffs?<\/a><\/strong><\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Indiana Pacers Preview<\/h2><p>The Pacers have been a revelation in this series after a hard-fought first round clash against Detroit Pistons.
