With the win, the Pacers take a 2-0 lead in the series and are looking like strong candidates to win this series. The depth on this roster along with a good offensive and defensive gameplan has helped Indiana stay alive in the postseason so far. If they're lucky, they may be able to end the series back home, though a sweep against this Cavs team seems unlikely.
Meanwhile, the Cavaliers now drop down to 0-2 in the series. Injuries have plagued this team early in this series, and we'll see if they can recover for Game 3. But don't count this team out yet. If Darius Garland is able to return from injury, that will make a great impact to helping this team rebound. But they still must be able to handle the pressure when they travel to Indiana.
