Another disappointing performance from the Indiana Pacers drop them to 0-2 on the season following a frustrating loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers. The Pacers, who led by two after the first quarter, were on the wrong side of a 17-0 run in the second, which allowed the Cavaliers to put Indiana in their rearview for good.
It was another game where defense was a big problem, the inability to not foul creating a situation where the Pacers were unable to absorb the second quarter woes. Cleveland shot 14 free throws in the first quarter, giving them 10 extra points.
