I Pacers, trascinati da Tyrese Haliburton (31 punti) e Pascal Siakam (21), hanno ribaltato un passivo di 19 punti e dominato la ripresa. “Non abbiamo mai perso la calma. Abbiamo resistito al loro assalto e poi li abbiamo stancati”, ha detto Haliburton.
“This place was lit…our guys used the noise and the commotion to narrow their focus.”

Indiana ha vinto tutte le tre gare a Cleveland, impresa che non accadeva dal 2005. I Cavs, nonostante i 35 punti di Donovan Mitchell, crollano nel finale. Ora i Pacers aspettano la vincente tra Celtics e Knicks. Carlisle conclude: “Erano i favoriti, ma noi avevamo fame”.

“They had a great year. I’m sorry that their season had to end like this in a way. Kenny did an amazing job. They just kind of had the perfect season and then we came along and we’re hot at the right time” pic.twitter.com/0rSHmPNEFG
