Clearly the Cleveland Cavaliers even as the number two seed in the Eastern Conference are favorites to be playing deep into June. Sunday evening in Indianapolis the Cavaliers finished off Paul George and the Pacers with a (4-0) sweep. However Indiana let two games slip away in this series, which could have been extended. Those two games were : Game 1 in Cleveland with the Pacers down one. Paul George was double teamed on the game final possession. He was forced to give it up and CJ Miles missed the final shot a potential game winner, which would have stole Game 1. The other game was Game 3 at Indiana up 25 at the half, the Pacers would make history. Well so would Cleveland which won the game and made the largest halftime deficit comeback in NBA Playoff history.
Mentally the Pacers were down after that collapse. Those pair of game that were mentioned were the back breakers especially Game 3. Indiana is going fishing and Cleveland is moving on. Much needed rest for this veteran ball club. They will await the winner of Toronto vs. Milwaukee. Currently the Raptors hold a (3-2) series lead.
