Halliburton s magical 1+3 finale! The Cavaliers suffered a 20-point comeback, and Michey hit 48+9 and couldn t save his master

On May 7, in the second round of the NBA playoffs, the Cavaliers lost to the Pacers 119-120 at home, and the team suffered a 20-point comeback, and the series score reached 0-2. In this game, Mitchell came to earth. He scored 48 points, 5 rebounds, 9 assists, 4 steals and 1 block, but unfortunately he still couldn't help the team win. Struce scored 23 points, Allen scored 22 points and 12 rebounds, while Jerome felt cold in this game, and he scored only 2 points in 14 shots. On the Pacers, Turner scored 23 points, Halliburton scored 19 points, 9 rebounds and 4 assists, and completed a magical 1+3 final kill at the last moment.

This game is very difficult for the Cavaliers, because after G1's loss to the Pacers, they have lost their home advantage, and there are as many as three core rotations in this game that cannot be played. Garland, Mobley Jr. and Hunter are both injured. If the team loses again in this game, they will lead a score of 0-2 to the Pacers, and this round of series will be very lingering, so this game cannot be lost for the Cavaliers. Even if the lineup is incomplete, they need to do their best to win the game.

However, in the extremely incomplete lineup, the Cavaliers burst out with amazing energy. The Pacers may not have adapted to the Cavaliers' residual formation. They were restricted on both ends of offense and defense. In the whole first quarter, the Pacers only scored 15 points, which was far lower than their average performance. The Cavaliers scored more points, Mitchell scored 12 points alone, Merrill became the surprise, hit three three-pointers in a single quarter and scored 9 points. Struce, Allen and Jerome all performed very well. The Cavaliers scored 32 points in the first quarter. After the first quarter, the Cavaliers led the Pacers by as many as 17 points, and the team's advantage was very obvious.

When the second quarter came, the Pacers woke up as if they were dreaming, Turner scored 11 points, Nemhard and Halliburton teamed up to score 12 points. Under the leadership of these three players, the Pacers scored 35 points in a single quarter and recovered 6 points. After the half-time game, the Pacers also narrowed the gap to 11 points, and the team survived the difficult period.

In the third quarter, the two teams also staged a battle against each other. The Pacers chased points wildly, and the Cavaliers relied on their full players to play, and they also withstood the opponent's offensive. Mitchell stood up again. He made 5 of 6 shots in a single quarter and scored 15 points, and Allen also scored 10 points. Under the leadership of these two players, the Cavaliers still maintained a 14-point lead before the end of the third quarter, and the team stabilized their lead. In the final quarter, the Pacers started with an 8-2 attack and narrowed the score difference, while Mitchell caused two consecutive fouls to help the team stabilize the lead. The Pacers did not give up. They relied on the continuous attack of the basket to score 2+1 many times. The team chased only 4 points with one minute left in the game. At the critical moment, Struz hit a three-pointer, and Siakam made a strong attack at the basket. Then the Cavaliers made a foul, and Halliburton made a foul. After one of two free throws, he got a rebound and made another three-pointer in the face of Jerome to complete the quasi-final kill. In the end, the Pacers narrowly defeated the Cavaliers with a 1-point advantage away and won this incredible game. After the Cavaliers lost this game, the team was already behind the Pacers 0-2, and they lost two consecutive games at home. The next game was a back-to-back battle for the Cavaliers. They had no capital to lose. As long as the Pacers returned to home court and won a game, they would get the match point. The Pacers are highly likely to become the final winner in this round of the series.
