PREVIEW & TIPS Cleveland Cavaliers VS Indiana Pacers

Cleveland Cavaliers – Indiana Pacers – Pacers proved tough for Cavs, but Cleveland managed to win the fourth match of the series and equalized the result in the series at 2: 2. Now the series returns to the Cavs Hall, where the home team will try to win the second round of the play-off.

After the defeat in the first home and first home series, Cavs were in a very difficult position, because if they lost the fourth match, they would be left behind in the 1: 3 series and they would be eliminated in front of them. This way with 2: 2 they return to Cleveland, where five matches will be played. The fourth match got a great finish from James and Korver, who scored all of their team’s points in the last couple of minutes (especially two Korver’s trips were important), although they could be said to have won because James finally got a concrete attacker’s help from the teammate.

They combined again with the starting five, which gave results, as Korver and Smith put 30 points together, while Clarkson added 12 points. There is room for improvement, shows that Love only scored five points, while Nance Jr stood at six. Interestingly, both teams had only 18 lost balls, but also a similar percentage of the shot from the game. The Cavs were outplayed by Pacerse from the counter (17: 7), and it is important to note that they were without Bay Hill, who restored his back injury.

Cleveland Cavaliers VS Indiana Pacers STATS

If we omit the first match, which Pacers received with 18 points difference, the remaining three games were played on one or two balls, or the differences at the end of the match were from 2 to 4 points. This shows that there is no distinct favorite in this duel, and that sometimes the home court is not a guarantor of success. That’s why we are now expecting a hard game in which hard teams will transfer 100 points.

Pacers had a good chance to go for a big advantage in the series, but allowed the Cavsima 10-2 series at the very end of the match, which meant the second defeat of Indiana in the first round of play-offs. Otherwise, this has been their sixth defeat in the last eight duels with Cavs in the playoffs, although they have to admit they were not overwhelmed in both this season’s play-off defeat. It gives them hope that they can play a good game again in Cleveland, perhaps not as the first ones they got convincingly, but they can certainly give a strong resistance to the host.

As Coach McMillan pointed out, they need a calm game from which to score points, but also the binding of players, that is exactly what they lacked in the fourth game. Perhaps the main reason for the defeat is the poor shot Oladipa, who scored 2/12 for two points, while Bogdanovic did not celebrate the third match (4/13). A good match was played by Sabonis, dropping 19 points with 6 rebounds, and if we ignored the turner center, the other four starters combined a very poor 19/59! We do not think I can get better than that.
