How did the Pacers shock the Cavs?

J.E. Skeets 1:24
We've got some fun games to talk about once again. Again. The playoffs are on one right now. I guess first question, will a home team ever win another playoff game? Discuss. No, we'll also get into some news. Got Coach of the Year, Executive of the Year, and all that stuff. But yeah, the Pacers. Scored the final eight points in about 47, 48 seconds to stun the shorthanded Cavaliers. 120, 119 last night. They take the 2-0 lead in their Eastern Conference second round series. It was a real what the hell just happened. Once again with the Pacers. We saw it in the Bucs series and they do it again here in game two tasks. Somehow like just snatching this from the Cavs to take the 2-0 lead.

What went wrong for the Cavs in their playoff game?

Trey Kirby 2:04
The Pacers snatch it, but the Cavs blew this one. Yes, sir. Yes, indeed. 27 seconds left. They just had to inbound the ball under their own hoop. And they did. But Kenny Atkinson said, no, I need a timeout. He was so desperate to get Donovan Mitchell back into the game. And so their last timeout is gone. And Cavs have to go the other way, inbound on the other side. They flub that one. And then Tyrese Halliburton is able to go to the hoop. Cavs could have challenged. It's unlikely they would have been able to get a turnover with that one, but because they don't have a timeout, they couldn't. They also could have used that timeout after Halliburton's big shot so they could advance the ball and have a far better shot at the rim. So they really did flub this one.

Why was Tyrese Halliburton's performance crucial?

Trey Kirby 2:51
Obviously, Tyrese Halliburton's shot is the story. That was freaking amazing how he took his sweet time. It's like you took a deep breath to take every one of those seconds and be able to hit that shot. But the Cavs wasted Donovan Mitchell's 48-point performance without their other two All-Stars and DeAndre Hunter. They needed another ball handler, and Ty Jerome having his worst game did not help. And that's why Kenny Atkinson was so desperate to get Donovan Mitchell back into the game. That being said, the Cavs are going to remember this one if they don't beat the Indiana Pacers. Should've won this thing.

Yeah, they're down 2-0, going on the road. Not good, but you're right. There's like three plays where if the Cavs make one of them, they win this game. Get the ball in the first time with Strews. I mean, yeah, he wanted Mitchell in, but that was getting close to a five-second call. I think that's the second time they had to call a timeout because they couldn't get the ball inbounds. Then just a brutal pass by Strews on the steal by Neesmith. And Jared Allen grabbed a rebound, I think is really what it comes down to. But the poise by Halliburton to stand in the lane and realize... I don't have to shoot it right away. There's 10 seconds left. Enough time to back out, get into my dribble package, get a shot up.
Tass Mellis 4:05
There is a 70-minute YouTube mix of clutch moments for Tyrese Halliburton on the NBA's YouTube page right now. It's his fifth season. This season alone, he's 10 for 11 on shots to tie or take the lead in the last two minutes of the game. Say it again? 10 for 11 in the last two minutes to take the lead or tie the game. Yeah.
