Pacers Almost Left Cavs HC Speechless

The Indiana Pacers dominated Game 4 against the Cleveland Cavaliers, leading by over 40 points at halftime and ultimately cruising to a 3-1 series lead in the Eastern Conference Semi-Finals.

The Pacers went 12-of-18 from 3-point range in the first half of Game 4, shooting 60 percent from the floor and seemingly unable to make a wrong move offensively.

Coach Rick Carlisle got the team to move the ball around the perimeter and adapt to the zone defense that the Cavs employed successfully in Game 3 and attempted to carry over in Game 4, but ultimately it was dismantled by quality ball movement and shot-making.

"Complete domination by them is kind of the story in every facet," Cavs head coach Kenny Atkinson said after the game.
