The big dark horse advanced 4-1! Halliburton 31+8 firepower is fully opened, Mitchell is unable to recover

On May 14, the NBA playoffs continued, and the Cavaliers returned to their home court to play the Pacers. In this game, the Cavaliers fought life and death. The team was in full swing and established a 19-point lead at one time. However, after that, the Pacers began to counterattack and successfully overtaken in the second half, and kept widening the gap. However, Mitchell led the team to chase points continuously in the final quarter. Unfortunately, some Pacers also stood up. In the end, the Cavaliers lost to the Pacers 105-114 and were eliminated 1-4 in a big score.

The Cavaliers had no way out in this game, and Mitchell also played with injuries. The team was in excellent shape from the ground and quickly took the initiative on the field, and kept widening the gap, completely suppressing the Pacers. The latter only scored 19 points in the first quarter, 12 points behind. I thought the Cavaliers would make a big move, and they once scored 19 points in the second quarter, but the team failed to continue their momentum. The Pacers launched a counterattack. Halliburton began to score points one after another, successfully approaching the gap and chasing to 52-56 after the half.

The side changes again, the Cavaliers' attack is still bad, and then they collapse and silence. The Pacers are blooming inside and outside. Halliburton leads the team to score points in a row, directly hitting a 21-2 offensive to reverse the situation, overtaking 9 points after three quarters. In the last quarter, the Cavaliers were still chasing points, and Mitchell finally made a shot from the outside. Unfortunately, he made all three free throws, and his body had already broken to the limit. After that, the Cavaliers were unable to catch up. Nemhard scored 2+1, Turner hit a three-pointer to kill the game, and the Pacers finally defeated the Cavaliers 114-105.

In this way, the Cavaliers, the number one in the Eastern Conference, were eliminated in the semi-finals, which was a bit disappointing. In this game, Mitchell played with injuries and tried his best to score 35 points and 9 rebounds, but he still couldn't lead the team to win the game. Mobley around him had 24 points and 11 rebounds, Garland made 4 of 16 shots and only 11 points, and the other players performed averagely, and the team was eventually eliminated.

Pacers continued their dark horse nature, and successfully completed a major reversal in an unfavorable situation of being 19 points behind, and reached the Eastern Conference Finals for two consecutive seasons. Halliburton performed well this time, making 6 of 10 three-pointers, scoring 31 points, 6 rebounds and 8 assists. In addition, all the helpers around him exploded. Nemhard scored 18 points and 6 assists, Siakam scored 21 points and 8 rebounds, Nesmith scored 13 points and 13 rebounds, and Turner scored 10 points and 7 rebounds.
