The Good: The Indiana Pacers might actually be a playoff team considering they’ve beat the Miami Heat and now went toe-to-toe with the Cleveland Cavaliers. A few things bounce the Pacers way and we could be talking about a win streak over the East’s top talent. A loss is still a loss but there has to be more confidence that this team isn’t a broken mess of players.
The Bad: Giving up a pair of layups in the final minutes that allowed the Cavaliers to maintain their lead. They didn’t make Cleveland earn the points but as a credit to the Cavs they were able to break the pressure of the Pacers late in the game to set up those plays.
