If you need musical accompaniment for this inexcusable Indiana Pacers loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers, follow the link back there. It’s probably better to have it playing because the words here won’t offer you any comfort, so perhaps a sad song will.
The Cavaliers didn’t even play well, the Pacers just played worse. Cleveland shot 41.3 percent from the floor and 19.4 percent from deep. Indiana beat those marks with a 39.8 field goal percentage and (blink) 18.2 from beyond the arc.
Pathetic effort offensively for Indiana. They were lifeless and rarely showed off the ball movement and proficiency that powered the seven-game streak the Kevin Love-less Cavaliers just snapped.
