Overview

• The Indiana Pacers lead the best-of-seven Eastern Conference semifinal series 2-1 heading into Game 4 at Gainbridge Fieldhouse, scheduled for an 8 p.m. ET tipoff.
• Cleveland rebounded in Game 3 with a 126-104 victory, fueled by Donovan Mitchell’s 43 points and Evan Mobley’s dominant two-way performance.
• Both teams enter Game 4 at near-full health, with Cleveland reporting no injuries and Indiana only missing Isaiah Jackson, who has been out since November with an Achilles injury.
• Cavaliers coach Kenny Atkinson’s switch to a 3-2 zone defense in Game 3 stifled Indiana’s offense, limiting All-Star Tyrese Haliburton to just four points.
• The outcome of Game 4 will be critical in determining the series’ trajectory, as a Cleveland win would tie the series and shift home-court advantage back to the Cavaliers.
