The Indiana Pacers entered Game 3 with the knowledge that they can play with the Cleveland Cavaliers in this first round series. They fought back from double-digit deficits in both games to nearly steal a game on the road.
Trailing 0-2, the Pacers were back home in Banker’s Life Fieldhouse and looking to get back into the series. Could they find some defense to combat the Cavs three-point barrage? Would Nate McMillan finally make changes to the starting line-up and shorten the rotation? Or would it be more of the same… a valiant effort, but the best player on earth being just too good?
