Cavs go 2-0 up in Pacers playoff

Adjust Comment Print

Quicken Loans Arena was rocking as No.23 led his troops to a commanding series advantage ahead of travelling to Bankers Life Fieldhouse in IN for Game 3. Every point in the game we know we've got a chance to come back.

Following a missed three-point attempt from James, the Pacers had 20 seconds to get a potential game-winning shot. We're going against a very good opponent in IN, who had the Coach of the Month, and Paul George was the Player of the Month, so we have to understand that.

"He came in and had a good workout", Lue said.

"We have so many pieces on this team but everyone has to stay ready".

Harry's revelation has been widely appreciated by mental health experts. "It has to be seen in the same way". At a private screening of the documentary yesterday, a clearly moved William said: "Wow".

NOTES: Cavs F LeBron James totaled 32 points and 13 assists in Game 1. He's going to be re-evaluated after the game, so hopefully we'll get a better idea of the severity.

The other hitch for Cleveland was that starting guard J.R. Smith didn't play in the second half because of a left hamstring injury. Iman Shumpert, who sat out the opener, replaced Smith and played 20 solid minutes. "We just need Shump to stay focused and understand the task at hand and I think he did a good job of that tonight". He finished the game with 6 points and 3 rebounds.

Cavaliers: James (357) jumped Magic Johnson (358) for third place in career playoff steals and hopped Robert Parish for eighth in rebounds. Only Jerry West (14) and Michael Jordan (15) had more.

The Cavs vowed they would play better after their near-disaster in Game 1 and they mostly backed up their talk, delivering the kind of performance that was routine last season but rare in 2017. Stephenson, a reserve for the Pacers since signing as a free agent late in March, played all 12 minutes of the fourth quarter and scored eight of his 16 points.
