The Indiana Pacers eliminated the Cleveland Cavaliers from the Eastern Conference playoffs on Tuesday night. The Pacers erased a 19-point deficit as they closed out the series in five games by a score of 114–105.
After a late Myles Turner three-pointer put the game out of reach for the home team, Indiana star Tyrese Haliburton waved to the crowd. Considering how the Haliburton family celebrated beating the Milwaukee Bucks in the first round, this was actually kind of nice.
