Paul George had 28 points, but Indiana couldn't find consistent effort from their role players, eventually falling to Toronto in a 98-87 Game 2 loss, tying the series at 1-1.
The Indiana Pacers got a much better shot from the Toronto Raptors in Game 2, who played like a team with their season on the brink in what amounted to a victory for the home team. The Pacers led briefly in the first quarter, but quickly fell behind due to an inability to corral Jonas Valanciunas, who once again made a mockery of Indiana's bigs, setting a pick and running towards the basket for an easy lob ad nauseam.
