Cleveland- When push came to shove Tuesday night, things started out much the same way Cavaliers fans have become accustomed to. The Indiana Pacers jumped out to a 38-16 lead after the first quarter, and it seemed as if the Cavs were going to be embarrassed on their home floor once again.
As the first half progressed things got worse for Cleveland. Larry Nance Jr exited the game early in the first quarter and that’s when the wheels appeared to fall off. Indiana was up by as many as 26 in the first half, before something changed.
