Tyrese Haliburton scored 31 points, hitting six 3-pointers and dishing out eight assists to lead the Pacers to a 114-105 win over the Cavs in Game 5.

The Cavaliers entered Game 4 with a chance to even the series and were instead torched 129-109, but the score wasn't really even that close.

"They all touched the ball," Cavaliers coach Kenny Atkinson told reporters after practice Thursday. "They all got some reps up. But we didn't do anything live. They kind of participated in the walkthrough. Hoping for the best."

INDIANAPOLIS — The Cleveland Cavaliers rebounded from one of their worst losses in franchise history to defeat the Indiana Pacers 126-104 in Game 3. The Cavs still have a lot of work to do before they can feel like this was a successful trip, but Friday night was a good first step.

Perhaps the most critical coaching decision of the series was made in the second quarter of Game 3, as the Cavs switched to a 3-2 zone.
