With the win, the Pacers take a 3-0 lead in the series. It now feels like more like a matter of “when” and not “if” anymore, as Indiana has a good shot of winning the series now. Furthermore, they get to stay back home once more in hopes of ending the series in Game 4. Ideally, they’d like to win it all four games to keep their players healthy. But it won’t be easy to sweep the #1 team in the conference.
Meanwhile, the Cavaliers now shockingly trail 0-3 in this series. It’s been a surprising turn of events, and we did not anticipate the team to struggle like this. Of course, injuries never help, and it hurts the team’s depth later in games. But we’ll see if Donovan Mitchell and company can make magic happen in Games 4 and beyond.
