Inside the NBA REACTS to Pacers vs Cavaliers GAME 1 Highlights

and we welcome you back. Game one, good game at Rocket Arena. Uh Darius Garland got that left big toe still barking at him, so he could not play again, but Donovan Mitchell certainly could against Tyrese Hallebertton and the Indiana Pacers. Mitchell scored well. No, they they were too stagnant offensively. Two players shot 50 times out of 90. That’s just too That’s not enough. Tyrese Tyrese Hallebertton there. A 10 nothing finish to the first quarter. Obie Toppin with the finish. your history tell us when a team has a couple days off they can be a little rusty at times so you attack especially in in in a game of this magnitude but Cleveland chips away DeAndre Hunter for three they turned it on in the second half and second but it was just they let Indiana who’s a great offensive team get rolling yeah Nemhardt was sensational up 6458 in the half Jared Allen throws it down come on man offense you can’t push gotten out the air like that. [Music] Aaron Nesmith, another guy with a solid night. He had 17. He matched their biggest lead of 12. Mitchell there. 8483. And then Mobly gives them the lead for the first time since early. 8584. They went 20 to four on him. [Applause] You know, when they went up four, you’re like, “Oh, this is it.” But this, you know, down the stretch, that was great patience by Miles Turner to not worry about the shot clock at the end of the third. And Indiana had the lead going to the fourth. Now, this is a good block and a foul. You can’t push people down. Watch. Watch his left hand. Oh, we’re going to push him. Kenny Atkins didn’t challenge. Yeah. Okay. That’s incidental contact. Yeah. I hate when they challenge. I hate when they challenge to see a replay and still screw the call up. Denied Allebertton with anybody. Mitchell to the cup again. He had 33 on the night. Oh, don’t leave him open. Neard had 23 on seven out of 10 and five out of six from the promised land. And then Seakuma ahead of the pack. He had 17. This was good. It was actually good defense and a travel too. No travel. It is a travel. Feet work. Nope. That’s a travel. Feet work. At that point, they could have called it and it wouldn’t have mattered. Uh 121 112. Indiana takes the homecourt advantage away from the Cavs who dropped their first game of this postseason after sweeping the Miami Heat. Uh Jared Greenberg was working the sidelines, has a report. Well, last year in route to the Eastern Conference Finals, the Pacers didn’t win a single game one. They are now two for two in 2025 after coming into an incredibly hostile environment and taking down the underman Cavaliers. I haven’t heard many people that have gave us a chance in this series, you know, so um we got to use that as some level of motivation, but game two will be exceptionally hard. Tyrese is is a master of just you know he he’s like a um you know hockey distributor. They’re an excellent offensive team. I think we struggle you know not only with their pace but with their ball movement. Just try to get guys involved and just try to make the right play. Like I’ve said many times being the point guard is like being the mom. You know your job is to take care of everybody and um you know just trying to do that at a high level. When you have six guys in double figures and two more son how how good of a mom were you? That’s a That’s an interesting question. Uh, well, we won. So, I guess if we win the game, that means I was a a good mom today. Pacers won that game despite turning it over 17 times. They did have 30 assists and they were plus 30 from three. And, uh, for Donovan Mitchell and the Cavs, 70 paint points. That’s their season high. But it’s the first time in 91 games that they did not hit 10 threes. Yeah, but that first stat is the reason they lost the game. Oh, yeah. I mean, they they a really good defensive team. They got the defensive player of the year, but to give up a season high points in the postseason, 53% and 52 from three, that’s just not deep because the Pacers are flat out offensive machine. Yes, they are. Came in shooting 50% after the Milwaukee series and they shot 53% in this one. Monday, Knicks and Celtics get it going in Boston. Nuggets and Thunderplay game win of that series uh will hit the air at 6:30 tomorrow night. We’ll be back with more in just a second.
