Indiana Pacers v Cleveland Cavaliers - Game Two — Jason Miller

The fourth quarter was everything! Cleveland came with the pressure, but we didn’t back down. Donovan Mitchell had 36 points and was goin’ off, but our boys stood tall. Tyrese Haliburton? Baybee, wrist hurting and all, still hit that clutch 3-pointer like it was nothing but practice! His shot sealed the deal in the final seconds, and the whole arena had to respect it.

Let’s not forget about our big man Myles Turner, who showed up and showed out with 21 points. He was moving in the paint, hitting jumpers, and keeping the Cavs honest all night. Then there’s Bennedict Mathurin, coming off the bench with that heat! His energy changed the tempo every time he touched the floor. He had that “I want this win” fire—and we saw it in every play.

We’ve got to talk about the chemistry too. The team is locked in, moving the ball, and playing like a unit. Even with Tyrese battling a wrist injury, the Pacers kept their composure, stayed focused, and found a way to finish strong. That’s championship mindset right there!

This win means more than just a lead—it shows the league we’re not just here to compete; we’re here to conquer. The Pacers now head back to Indiana with a 2-0 series lead and all the momentum. You already know Gainbridge Fieldhouse is about to be LIT for Game 3!

So, Naptown, stand up! The Pacers just served notice—we’re not going home, we’re going hard. If you doubted before, believe now: Pacers win Game 2, and the energy is unmatched.

🗣️ Let’s keep this run going. Protect home court. Handle business. And keep making noise in the East!
