The Indiana Pacers shocked the Cleveland Cavaliers with a dominant performance, winning 129-109 in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference semi-finals. The Pacers, now 3-1 in the series, were propelled by a record-setting offensive display after overcoming the ejection of key player Bennedict Mathurin. Although Mathurin was tossed from the game early, the Pacers capitalized, ending the first quarter with a 38-23 lead and exploding for 42 points in the second quarter to set a franchise playoff record for points in a half.

Pascal Siakam led the team with 21 points, while Myles Turner and Obi Toppin contributed 20 each. Turner emphasized the team's resilience, noting their ability to respond after a previous loss. Meanwhile, the Cavaliers were dealt a blow as All-Star Donovan Mitchell left the game with an ankle injury and will undergo an MRI, casting doubt on his availability for Game 5. The Pacers now look to close out the series on Wednesday in Cleveland.
