Saturday night, the the Indiana Pacers finally got to get their shaky at best regular season behind them and start the playoffs. The nerves were out and the players were ready, and the team was finally ready to execute the offense and defense they had been practicing for this series.
Up went the tip, and the Cleveland Cavaliers came down with it, so the defense would be executing first. It did not take long at all for the Cavs to ruin the Pacers plans by revealing their early game offensive strategy: attack Thaddeus Young.
On the first possession of the game, the Cavs fed Kevin Love the ball in the post.
