What's next for Pascal Siakam, Pacers
Pascal Siakam and the Pacers made it clear that they are serious with their case as one of the best teams in the Eastern Conference. Taking a 3-1 series lead over the top-seed Cavs is a major example of that.
Indiana jumped out to a 38-23 lead after the first quarter and went on from there. They scored 42 points in the second quarter, including a strong 19-2 run to close out the period and take an 80-39 lead at halftime.
The game wasn't even close. Cleveland lost Donovan Mitchell for the second half due to injury, meaning they would be without their top scoring option. As a result, the Pacers remained on cruise control as their quality on both sides of the ball were too much for the Cavs to overcome.
Seven players scored in double-digits on Indiana's behalf to win Game 4, including Siakam. Myles Turner produced 20 points, seven rebounds and three assists. He shot 7-of-13 from the field, including 4-of-4 from beyond the arc. Obi Toppin came next with 20 points and five rebounds while Ben Sheppard put up 14 points and three rebounds. Meanwhile, T.J. McConnell provided 13 points and eight assists.
The Pacers will look to close out the series on the road when they face the Cavaliers in Game 5. The contest will take place on May 13 at 7 p.m. ET.
