Tyrese Haliburton scored 31 points, Pascal Siakam added 21 and the Indiana Pacers advanced to the Eastern Conference Finals with a 114-105 victory over Cleveland, eliminating the top-seeded Cavaliers in five games.

The fourth-seeded Pacers booked their return to the Eastern Conference Finals with Tuesday night’s 114-105 victory over the top-seeded Cleveland Cavaliers, wrapping up a stunning series victory in only five games. Haliburton led the way with 31 points on 10-of-15 shooting, including 6-of-10 on 3-pointers, along with eight assists and six rebounds.

The Cavaliers have a lot to think about now as they look for better results next season. The loss is still fresh on their minds, including that of Cavaliers star guard Donovan Mitchell. Mitchell spoke to the media on Wednesday and admitted that he had not been to sleep yet, but he had watched the game back twice.
