On May 14, in the second round of the NBA playoffs, the Cavaliers lost to the Pacers 105-114 at home, and the Eastern Conference was out in the first place, while the Pacers made it to the Eastern Conference Finals. Halliburton was in a hot state in this game. He scored 31 points, 6 rebounds and 8 assists, and made 6 three-pointers from the outside to dominate the game. Siakam scored 21 points, Nesmith scored 13 points, and Nemhard scored 18 points. On the Cavaliers, Mitchell made 8 of 25 shots with injuries and scored 35 points and 9 rebounds, while Mobley Jr. scored 24 points and 11 rebounds. In the first four games of the
series, the Cavaliers fell behind 1-3. If G5 cannot be won, the team will be eliminated by the lower team. For the Cavaliers, this is a game that cannot be lost. Mitchell also played with injuries. The team's goal is to continue the suspense of this round of series and strive to create miracles.
With this mentality of striving for victory, the Cavaliers also dominated the game in the first quarter. Although Mitchell had a poor shooting feel, he caused fouls in succession of attacking the basket. He scored 13 points in a single quarter. Allen and Mobley Jr. jointly scored 16 points. Under the leadership of these three players, the Cavaliers also led the Pacers 31-19 12 points in the first quarter.
After coming to the second quarter, the Cavaliers had a 19-point lead at most, but in the final stage of the first half, the Pacers began to chase points wildly, Halliburton made three-pointers in the middle and outside, Siakam also made an unreasonable jump shot, and the Cavaliers fell into a scoring drought. The Pacers seized the opportunity to narrow the gap to 4 points before the end of the half. In the third quarter, the Pacers were completely in power, and Siakam scored 7 points in a row after coming up. Then Halliburton assisted Toppin and Bryant to score points in the inside. The team quickly overtook the Cavaliers and established a double-digit lead. The Cavaliers don't have many offensive methods, and they can make wild blackshots on the outside, and they can only rely on Mitchell's strong attack to score points in the inside. Before the end of the third quarter, Hunter made a high-difficulty throw to help the Cavaliers narrow the gap to 9 points. In the last quarter of the game, the Cavaliers came up and scored a 10-2 offense and chased only 1 point away. Then Halliburton and Nemhard scored 6 points in a row to stabilize the lead. Although Mitchell then made two consecutive three-pointers, the Pacers could always rely on their own conversion offense to score points. When the game reached the last 2 minutes, the Cavaliers were still 6 points behind the Pacers. Mitchell then made a foul with a three-pointer, but none of the three free throws. Although Mitchell hit a three-pointer in the corner, Nemhard immediately responded to a 2+1. As Halliburton caused a foul and scored two free throws, the game also lost suspense. The Pacers won the Cavaliers away, and the team successfully ended the series. After the Pacers won this game, the team defeated the top Cavaliers in the Eastern Conference 4-1 and successfully advanced to the Eastern Conference Finals. Although the two teams had a lot of differences in the regular season record, when they came to the playoffs, the Pacers were obviously better-performing teams. They were more tenacious and their performance on both offense and defense was more stable. The Cavaliers were far from their regular season level, with unstable offense and no sense of oppression in defense, which also led to their final elimination. Next, the Pacers will play against the winner between the Knicks and the Celtics, and the team has hope to go further this season.
