The Indiana Pacers stole the first two games of their Eastern Conference semifinal matchup against the Cleveland Cavaliers at Rocket Arena, but in Game 3, their first contest at home, they never managed to keep it close.

Haliburton has a heavily taped left wrist, and the Cavs will have three key players back — Darius Garland, Evan Mobley and De'Andre Hunter. Dustin Dopirak has the best Pacers coverage and keep up with IndyStar's Pacers newsletter.

The Pacers entered halftime with a 41-point lead, having absolutely dominated during the opening two quarters on their home court at Gainbridge Fieldhouse. It was nothing short of a shellacking, as Indiana more than doubled the total points scored by the Cavs in the first half, 80–39.
