One thing was clear from the get go tonight, the Cleveland Cavaliers were on a mission. They did not want to get swept by the Indiana Pacers. After dropping 10 of the last 15 games, it seemed the team considered to be the Eastern Conference NBA Finals representative were fed up of losing.
Indiana struggled mightily throughout most of this one on the defensive side of the floor. Even with shooting a nice 47% from the field, allowing the Cavaliers to shoot 56% from the field, giving up a triple-double to LeBron and a whopping seven threes to JR Smith was the nail in the coffin for the Pacers.
