They have their starters distributing the ball, distributing the amount of field goals they're making. They're doing the same thing in the playoffs. They have not veered away from what got them success in the postseason. Now, some teams... have picked up some new skills in the postseason, which is great. But a lot of teams have completely changed their identity.

Facts, facts. I literally can tell you the numbers. I mean, we can go down the list of the actual players, but let's look at from a team perspective. The Cavs had every opportunity to get this done. It's just a matter of who could execute in those opportunities. The Cavs attempted 47 more free throws than the Pacers, and they made 39 more. That's awesome.

But then when it came down to their actual scoring, do you know that Donovan Mitchell in this series attempted 125 field goals? The next highest number, 57. On the Indiana side, it was Tyrese Halliburton, Miles Turner, Andrew Nembhard, Pascal Siakam, all were at about 100 or more. Evenly distributed, right? It became this ISO show for the Cleveland Cavaliers.

And again, that's not what got them there. It was ball movement. It was pace. It was running.

Because that man was exhausted in this game and still was making tough buckets, was making sure that he made up for the three free throws that he missed at the end of the game, got that big bucket to keep it open for them.
