On February 12, Beijing time, the Cavaliers played away to the Pacers, and the Cavaliers successfully defeated the Pacers 120-113 at the end of the game. The Pacers and Cavaliers have both recently made trades, but the Pacers' side has obviously changed even more, but given the Cavaliers' performance this season and the current fierce competition in the East, the winning or losing of each game will change the team's ranking, and all this game the Cavaliers are bound to strive to win. However, the Pacers were in hot shape after the game began, so the Pacers quickly occupied a big lead, but fortunately, the Cavaliers also chased the score in the later game, until the Cavaliers also successfully completed the rebound in the fourth quarter, and finally the Cavaliers won a 21-point reversal game.
The Pacers were in hot shape in the first quarter, relying on Harry Burton and Duarte to play and gradually open up the score, while the Cavaliers' state of mind was low and there were many mistakes, and the Pacers led by 19 points at the end of the first quarter. In the second quarter, Rondo and Osman led the team to chase points, Duarte scored to stabilize the situation, and the Pacers took a 16-point lead. After the suspension, Love and Le Ver helped the team continue to chase points, and in the next game, the two teams played their own offensive roles, and the Pacers still occupied a double-digit lead. As the Cavaliers reached single digits in the final stages, Halliburton hit a three-pointer and the Pacers led by 11 points at the end of the half.
In the third quarter, the game relied on Halburton and Hield to play the Pacers to extend the lead, and LeVert led the team to chase points, and the Pacers still led by 10 points. After the timeout, LeVert hit a three-pointer, back to Brisette, Halliburton hit a three-pointer, Allen scored to stop the bleeding, Brisette continued to hit three points, at the critical moment Osman and Rondo scored to stop the decline, at the end of the stage Wade, Mobley helped the team chase points, the cavaliers fell behind by 8 points at the end of the third quarter. In the fourth quarter, the Ottoman multiplayers helped the team chase five points, Hield hit a three-pointer at a critical moment, and then Rondo and Love scored, and the Cavaliers trailed by 4 points. Hield hit a three-pointer after a timeout, with Allen and LeVert helping the team score points and the Cavaliers trailing by two points. After the timeout, Rondo hit a three-pointer, Le Vere also hit a mid-range shot, and although Halliburton helped the team chase points, the Cavaliers kept the lead under the play of Rondo and others, and finally the Cavaliers won the game.
It's a shame that the Pacers lost the game in this game, after all, in this game, the Pacers once occupied the big lead, until the fourth quarter of the game, the Pacers still occupied the lead, but in the fourth quarter when the Cavaliers attacked and defended at both ends of the game, the Pacers did not stabilize the situation. However, their two rookies Duarte and Halliburton have a good performance in this game, I believe that seeing their performance, the Pacers should still be pleased, the rookie Halliburton at the end of the game got 23 points, 3 rebounds and 6 assists, Duarte got 18 points, 4 rebounds and 3 assists.
At the same time, the reason why the cavaliers were able to win the game. This game Rondo has become the team's needle, after all, when the Cavaliers are behind, Rondo is able to stand up to help the team stabilize the situation, in the fourth quarter of the game Rondo not only helped the team to bite the score, relying on Rondo's three-point Cavaliers also completed the counterattack, the end of the game Rondo got 17 points, 7 rebounds and 6 assists data. Of course, in this game, the Nets' veteran Allen and Le Vere performed well, the Cavaliers completed the reversal of the two to make a contribution, in front of Allen helped the team stabilize the situation, the fourth quarter of the game LeVert broke out to help the team to occupy the lead, and seeing this can only say that the Nets should not give up you two for Harden, after all, the two can help the team, and the Nets gave up too many assets for Harden, but in order to be able to win the championship stably, finally Harden chose to leave the Nets, and at the end of the game, Le Ver got 22 points, 2 rebounds and 5 assists Allen had 22 points, 14 rebounds and 1 assist.
