Pacers build 41-point halftime lead and rout Cavaliers 129-109 for a 3-1 series lead



The Indiana Pacers spent two days looking for solutions against top-seeded Cleveland. Pascal Siakam scored 21 points, Myles Turner and Obi Toppin each scored 20 and the Pacers tied an NBA playoff record with a 41-point halftime lead before blowing out the Cavs 129-109 to take a 3-1 series lead. The No. 4-seeded Pacers can close it out Tuesday in Cleveland, where they've already won twice. “We haven't done anything yet,” coach Rick Carlisle said after earning his 33rd playoff win with Indiana, passing Larry Bird for the most in the franchise's NBA history.

Tyrese Haliburton Credits Rick Carlisle For One Key Element in Pacers Dominant Game 4



Indiana Pacers All-Star point guard Tyrese Haliburton credited head coach Rick Carlisle for his energy in the postseason following the Pacers' 129-109 win over the Cleveland Cavaliers on Sunday evening. "I feel like coach is a savant when it comes to adjustments and getting the best out of guys and I think we kind of just follow that lead," Haliburton said to IndyStar. The Pacers responded in a big way in Game 4 after they dropped Game 3 on Friday, leading by as many as 44 points and now allowing the visitors to take a lead during the contest despite Benedict Mathurin's first-quarter ejection.
