It took all 82 games to secure it, but the Indiana Pacers did scrape into the playoffs on the back of a 5 game winning streak.
Their reward for the final game win over the Atlanta Hawks is the 7th seed in the Eastern Conference, and a matchup with the 2nd seeded Cleveland Cavaliers.
Facing off with LeBron James, who hasn’t lost game in the first round since 2012(!!!), might not feel like too much of a reward for the Pacers, but Paul George and the Pacers have always played LeBron as tough as anyone outside of Kawhi Leonard.
