Cleveland Cavaliers at Indiana Pacers gamethread

This might be a tough game to watch. No Kevin Love. No Cedi Osman. No Tristan Thompson. The Pacers, even without Victor Oladipo, are good and execute well. What to really watch for here is how Collin Sexton plays against Darren Collison and who plays well given an opportunity. On the second night of a back-to-back, that’s all you can really ask for.
