The Pacers and Cavaliers tip off a two-game preseason set in Cleveland on Saturday night at Rocket Mortgage Fieldhouse which they will conclude with game two on Monday night.
The pandemic preseason plan will allow the Pacers to play while maintaining limited access to the non-tested world. The games will also allow the Pacers to try out all of their new toys, or in this case their new offensive and defensive system, on an actual NBA opponent.
Coach Nate Bjorkgren has implemented changes to speed up the pace of play and be more disruptive on the defensive end.
