The Indiana Pacers are on fire in the playoffs, having taken a commanding 2-0 series lead over the Cleveland Cavaliers following a thrilling 120-119 victory. Tyrese Haliburton emerged as a clutch performer, hitting a last-second three-pointer to seal the game. This win marks another remarkable comeback for the Pacers, who previously rallied from a seven-point deficit in the final minute against the Milwaukee Bucks in the first round. As they prepare to host two consecutive games, the Pacers look to continue their momentum and eliminate the top-seeded Cavaliers early.

Despite Cleveland's impressive 15-game winning streak earlier this season, the Pacers' success against them this season—boasting a 3-1 record—suggests that their recent performances are no mere fluke. With Haliburton and rising star Bennedict Mathurin stepping up in critical moments, the Pacers are becoming a formidable playoff contender with their unique blend of physicality and resilience.
