The Pacers won Games 1, 2 and 5 at Rocket Mortgage Arena to help secure their spot in the Eastern Conference Finals. Indiana needed to battle back from a 12-point first-quarter deficit. Tyrese Haliburton's three-point shooting played a huge role in clawing back into the game.

"I'm sorry that their season had to end like this," Rick Carlisle said after his fourth-seeded Pacers eliminated Cleveland despite the Cavs' 64 wins and Coach of the Year honors.

Indiana has reached the Eastern Conference Finals for consecutive years. That's not lucky, this team is for real.

The Cavaliers won 64 games and captured the East's top seed. While a second-round exit is disappointing, Cleveland shouldn't do anything drastic.

The Cavs led 31-19 after 12 minutes while shooting 0 for 5 from 3-point range. Zero makes. Five attempts. Philadelphia 76ers president Daryl Morey must’ve been watching in horror.

Max Strus sent a group text message to motivate his teammates. Then he went scoreless as the Cavaliers lost Game 5.

After a rough exit from the playoffs at the hands of the Pacers, the Cavs' official account on X had something to say to their fans.

Jarrett Allen wasn't on the floor during last year's Eastern Conference semifinals. He was this year, but he didn't do enough to help the Cavs get further.

The Cleveland Cavaliers' season is hanging in the balance, as they are down 3-1 in their second-round NBA playoff series against the Indiana Pacers with Game 5
