Playoff series: Pacers lead 3-1

Indiana took a commanding series lead on Sunday against Cleveland with a 129-109 win while covering as a 5-point home underdog. The Pacers controlled the entire game, never trailing and leading by as many as 44 points, including an NBA playoff record 41-point halftime lead. F Pascal Siakam scored a game-high 21 points while C Myles Turner and F Obi Toppin each added 20 points in the win.

Cleveland has found itself with its season on the line heading back home after Sunday’s loss while failing to cover as a 5-point road favorite. G Darius Garland scored a game-high 21 points while G Donovan Mitchell finished with just 12 points after missing the second half with an ankle injury. While he is listed as questionable, in a win-or-go-home game, expect Mitchell to do everything possible to suit up Tuesday.
