2 bad turnovers by Ty Jerome.
Another bad turnover by Max Strus.

We are only 3 minutes into the game.

Wow, no Mobley/Garland/Hunter. All are out.

Quick sub out for D Mitchell. Not even the 6min mark.

Cavs perimeter trio = Ty Jerome, S Merrill, M Strus.

Okoro in for Dean Wade. That is a small lineup 1-4. They only have size at PG & C. The other three are all undersized. Not much rebounding help for J Allen here. Indy should attack the boards and look to take advantage.

I expected D Mitchell to be the difference in this series. As the commentator just said - a guy who can consistently create his own offense which Indiana do not have.

I do not buy Indy as a top team until Haliburton shows he can be that guy consistently. Not just once in a while.

Pacers suffering a dose of Celtics-itis. Missing so many shots  :P

So they brough D Mitchell back in after 2-3mins. Now J Allen goes out near the 3min mark. Dean Wade at center. Okoro at PF. Javonte Green gets the nod at SF. D Mitchell and S Merrill at guard.

Javonte Green is the guy. 3rd stringer to 15-20min guy.

Two gambling ads and the Q1 isn't even over yet.

This is impressive from CLE. Garland/Mobley/Hunter all out but still up 14 early

Strong Pacers lineup for 2nd unit.

Guards: McConnell & Mathurin
Forwards: Nesmith & Siakam
Center: T Bryant

Two of the best backup guards in the league. Their two starting forwards. A passable backup center in T Bryant. Interesting that they went with legit size in T Bryant rather than go with Jarace Walker.

Cavs have gone real small against this group.

Javonte Green is now the PF. Strus, Merrill and D Mitchell on the perimeter. Dean Wade their center.

Siakam has to take advantage here. They have nobody out there who can cover him. He needs to take over.
