00:00Significantly improved Pacers defense, Andrew Nembhard.
00:04So a stop at one end and a lay-in at the other for the Pacers.
00:07It's not the start if you're the Cavs you're looking for.
00:10And if you're the Pacers, you want to come out with the same kind of force you had in the start of Game 4.
00:17But how about Garrett Allen?
00:19Won't get a better look than that with Siakam pulling the loose change.
00:22There comes Siakam, Euro step to the wreck.
00:26And suddenly 3-1.
00:28How do they respond in this kind of a moment tonight?
00:30Turner poked away.
00:33There comes Mitchell off to the races, to the wreck, and he hits.
00:37And he's headed to the free throw line.
00:41Fifth among all postseason players this postseason in assists per game.
00:47What a player he's become for the Pacers.
00:49Mobley!
00:50Beautiful flash and an exquisite pass from Darling.
00:54Aaron Neesmith dribbles around Hunter, taking flight.
01:00Nice challenge by Wade, but Neesmith.
01:03Because of how he's going to be in attack mode to score the basketball.
01:07Okora loses his footing and then top in the snatch, but Allen takes it right back.
01:11Here comes Mitchell underneath.
01:14Boy, smother pass!
01:16Allen with a forceful flush!
01:20So Cleveland's lead is 9.
01:23As they play the 10-2 run, Mitchell the snatch!
01:269 points to lead all scores.
01:32And it's an 11-point lead, a 12-2 run for the Cavs.
01:35Shepard steps into a 3 and hits.
01:38First made 3 tonight.
01:41And control the defensive backboard.
01:44Donovan Mitchell sizes up Shepard.
01:46Here he comes on the attack.
01:47Little Euro step!
01:48And the beautiful teardrop floater!
01:51Andrew, you knew you were going to face a desperate team here.
01:53What are some of the areas of focus tonight?
01:56We've got to focus on defensive rebounds so we can get out and run and play our game.
02:00Just fly around on that side of the ball and really make it tough on them, picking them up full court.
02:04After holding Mobley and Allen in check the last couple of games, they've combined for 16.
02:08What are the keys to limit them?
02:10He's got to string the floor, especially in those ball screens.
02:12Be ready with the MIG and just fly around from there.
02:15But be physical with them.
02:17Appreciate you doing this.
02:17It gives you a chance to control the defensive transitions.
02:21Because that's another element of this.
02:22Keep the Pacers in the half court.
02:25Hunter, full extension.
02:34Largest lead of the game for the Cavs, Siakam.
02:38How would Cleveland handle the pressure of this moment?
02:41So far, so good as they play with a 19-point lead.
02:44Defensively, they've done a great job.
02:49And that's what you want to see if you're with Carlisle, your best player.
02:52So the Cavs lead back to 15.
02:58Nembhard left open with Hunter stumbling.
03:00And Nembhard able to bang in the three.
03:04And suddenly, Indiana's offense showing life.
03:06As we come up on the midway point of this second quarter.
03:09Neesmith working against Mitchell.
03:13Trying to turn the quarter.
03:14Mitchell, excellent defense.
03:15Neesmith able to hit nonetheless.
03:18I'll tell you what, that's something you've got to feel great.
03:21Because you're making the Cavs feel good.
03:24Halliburton with a deep shot.
03:28And here come the Pacers within seven.
03:32Miles Turner, shot clock at nine.
03:36Halliburton looking for some delay.
03:38He's going to pull again.
03:40And Tyrese Halliburton.
03:47Halliburton on a skip.
03:50And there's the heat check.
03:52And another breakdown.
03:54Generate any fast break opportunities.
03:56Just three fast break points.
03:57Halliburton.
03:58And he buries another three.
04:01He's got an advantage matchup-wise for the Cavs.
04:06If anyone told us that Garland and Mitchell would shoot five of 21 in the first half.
04:10And he'd.
04:12They still have confidence in their group.
04:14They know they're going to have time here to wear this Cavs team down.
04:18Donovan Mitchell.
04:19He's blocked by Turner.
04:20And look at Nembhard.
04:22They've lost a little bit.
04:26First basket tonight for Tyrese Halliburton.
04:28And there it is Mobley.
04:31Yeah, I mean, they just are more in tune with who they are in terms of how they play the game.
04:38Halliburton steps into a three.
04:39And he buries it.
04:41And he buries it.
04:43Siakam.
04:44Mismatch with Garland.
04:46Allen got a piece.
04:48Siakam's going to fire.
04:50And he's put the Pacers in front.
04:53They're settling.
04:54They have struggled to shoot the ball from the perimeter.
04:56They have been really good when they've attacked the rim.
04:59And they've just gone away from what's worked for them here tonight.
05:03Siakam.
05:03Here comes Neesmith looking for a scene.
05:11Halliburton good close Hunter.
05:13Halliburton beautiful teardrop.
05:15And look at the offense.
05:18Here comes Garland.
05:20Nearside bad pass for Okoro.
05:22And they turn it over.
05:25Thomas Bryant.
05:27Like a runaway freight train.
05:31And they just cannot find any offense.
05:34It's kind of painful.
05:35Boy, dazzling pass.
05:37Halliburton to Bryant.
05:38He's definitely gotten the crowd back into it.
05:41I mean, it feels like they're down 20,
05:44but it's basically a two-possession game.
05:48Thomas Bryant coming back door.
05:51Darius Garland inside of two minutes left in the quarter.
05:53Changed his mind.
05:54He went glass.
05:55Tough shot with Bryant on his hip.
05:57Pacers looking to push.
05:59Euro step, and he's headed to the free throw line.
06:03Matherick pretty drive on the reverse, just couldn't hit.
06:08Jerome's going to pull again, and he buries it.
06:14Bryant delivers there with that corner triple.
06:17Boy, Thomas Bryant, all nine of his points have come in the quarter.
06:21Mitchell, tough shot.
06:24Final seven seconds of the quarter.
06:28Here comes Hunter to the cup, over the top.
06:32On that mid post, with Spruce.
06:36Boy, Garland's three rims out.
06:38Offensive Karim for Allen.
06:41Reset Hunter.
06:43Hunter's going to hoist one, and he buries it!
06:49And all of a sudden, in a game that seems like it was lost,
06:53and how about getting an offensive rebound?
06:55Here comes Garland scoop, and layup, got it!
06:59Turns out to be a five-point trip.
07:03And what had been a struggle for him all series, really, the bench, all of a sudden, Tygerone comes in and gives him a little spark.
07:11Halliburton coming hard to the cup.
07:13Yeah, and I thought some prayers with Jason Tatum and his family, and he's so sad to see him go down the way he did.
07:20Such an incredible player is Miles Turner.
07:22Knocked it out.
07:27Siakam wants to take Struz into the corner.
07:31Nembhar to three.
07:32He got it!
07:33So now Cleveland only has one more foul left to give, where it's still seven and a half left.
07:38Siakam crashing to the basket.
07:4217, make it 18 to 16.
07:44Halliburton, but what a play by Jerome.
07:48Got the clean strip.
07:50Mitchell!
07:55Garland uses the Jerome screen, and he dribbled it off of his foot.
07:59Neesmith was there.
08:01Here comes Siakam.
08:04Neesmith to the wreck!
08:06Lays it in!
08:08Double-double for Neesmith.
08:0913 points, 10 rebounds, as we come up on five minutes left.
08:13And potentially Cleveland sees it.
08:16Mitchell, deep shot!
08:19Neesmith steps into a three.
08:22Too much.
08:23Turner offensive rebound.
08:27Halliburton, this is Nembhar, open three.
08:29He sticks it!
08:31Four-point lead.
08:33Jerome blocked by Halliburton.
08:36Halliburton on a push to the cut.
08:38Lays it up and in!
08:40Tie-rays Halliburton at both ends.
08:46And the stars for this Indiana team are put together.
08:4929 for Halliburton.
08:51Miles Turner, the big free throw.
08:55Three-point game.
08:58Three-point game.
08:59Here comes Nembhar into the paint.
09:02A little bit of contact, and he is headed to the free throw line.
09:06Garland, down to 46 seconds.
09:12Hunter, bump.
09:14Tires Mobley, hits.
09:16You got it.
09:17You don't have to foul here, but you have got to come up with a stop.
09:22Five to shoot.
09:23Turner, he puts it down!
09:26And the Indiana Pacers are heading back to the conference final.
09:32The Indiana Pacers, this resurgent, ascending.
