The Cleveland Cavaliers are down 0-2 to the Indiana Pacers in the 2nd round of the Eastern Conference playoffs. After losing the first 2 games at home, the Cavs now travel to Indianapolis to stave off elimination and bring the series back to Rocket Arena.
Injuries have played a major factor in the Cavs fighting out of an 0-2 hole. Darius Garland has missed the playoffs due to a sore toe, while Evan Mobley and DeAndre Hunter missed Game 2. Mobley is nursing a twisted ankle while Hunter has a dislocated finger sustained on a hard foul in Game 1.
The series will be very tough for Cleveland to come back and win the series if the health issues continue to linger.
2 is not 4........The Cavs still have a pulse, but Game 3 will determine if the Wine and Gold can make an improbable comeback. Teams down 0-2 lose the series 85% of the time. Even with that, our Cavs are not done yet.
