It’s on to the Eastern Conference semifinals for the second year running for the Indiana Pacers<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Indiana dispatched of the Milwaukee Bucks<\/a> in five games, completing the job Tuesday in improbable fashion<\/a>.<\/p>\n

After the technicals, shoving and postgame nonsense<\/a>, the Pacers can put the Bucks in the rearview mirror and turn their attention to a team that will require all of it: the top-seeded Cleveland Cavaliers<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Cleveland, who went 64-18 in the regular season, is fresh off a first round sweep of Miami, in which their combined +122 margin of victory is the highest in NBA history. So yeah, they’re good.<\/p>\n

The game dates for the No. 4 seed Pacers’ NBA Eastern Conference semifinals with the No. 1 seed Cavaliers have been determined though times and television broadcasts have not yet been determined, a league source told IndyStar on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

Game 1 and 2 will be played in Cleveland on Sunday, May 4 and Tuesday May 6. Games 3 and 4 will be in Indianapolis on May 9 and May 11. Among the if-necessary games, Game 5 will be May 13 in Cleveland, Game 6 will be May 15 in Indianapolis and Game 7 will be May 18 in Cleveland.<\/p>\n

The No. 2 seed Boston Celtics<\/a> have advanced to the semifinals on the other side of the bracket, beating the No. 7 Orlando Magic<\/a> in five games. The No. 3 seed New York Knicks<\/a> hold a 3-2 series lead on the No. 6 Detroit Pistons<\/a> in the remaining first-round series still being played with the winner advancing to play the Celtics.<\/p>\n
