After a four-game losing streak and a road trip, the Pacers, desperate for a win, returned home and faced the Cavaliers during a three-game winning streak.
On the Pacers side, the four new signings Hield + Halliburton + Tristan + Jaylen Smith appeared at the same time, and the team is also ready to defend the home field.
On the other hand, on the Cavaliers side, Garland Gao hung up the free card, and in this battle, LeVert faced the old master, what kind of game performance can be played, has undoubtedly become a major attraction of this game!
Finally, after 4 quarters of fighting, with excellent outside touch, the Pacers, who played at home, in the first three quarters, although they once overpowered the Cavaliers, achieved a huge advantage of as many as 21 points.
But helplessly in the final final battle, LeVert + Rondo ushered in an outbreak, leading the Cavaliers to play a wave of 17-4 counterattack frenzy, instantly reversing the situation on the court, and the Pacers could not catch up with the points, only to lose.
The Cavaliers, who finally withstood the pressure, also reversed the Pacers 120-113 on the road, which was worth the trip to stage a 21-point reversal, winning four consecutive wins while also giving the rival Pacers a 5-game losing streak!
In this game, although the Cavaliers once fell into a passive situation of as many as 21 points behind in the score, fortunately, the team did not mess up, but played a team performance of 7 people scoring in double figures, completing the reversal.
In the case of O'Corro + Dean Wade + Lefour + Osman and other main players, each performing their duties, the two cores LeVert + Allen, and the play of veteran Rondo on the bench, is particularly critical!
In this game, LeVert drove low and high, and with only 7 points in the first half, LeVert ushered in an explosion and scored 15 points in the second half, scoring an all-round performance of 22 points, 2 rebounds + 5 assists + 3 steals + 1 block.
Among them, in the last quarter, he shot 4 shots and shots without false hair, not only led by example, led the Cavaliers to fight back, but also hand-bladed the old lord, proving his worth!
In addition, as the inner pillar of the team, the play of Jarrett Allen in this game also played a crucial role.
In this campaign, Allen dominated the inside line, starting 32 minutes, shooting 8 of 12 shots and shooting a team-high 22 points, plus 14 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 steal and 1 block of the double-double performance, almost single-handedly, the town guarded the Cavaliers' inner line!
Of course, the Cavaliers were able to complete the reversal in this game, and Rondo's performance on the bench was also great.
In this game, Rondo was very efficient, coming off the bench for 32 minutes, shooting more than 80% of the shots in 6 of 7 shots, and hitting 2 three-pointers on the outside line, contributing 17 points + 7 rebounds + 6 assists + 3 steals.
And his key performance of scoring 10 points in the final quarter, not only completely disrupted the pace and deployment of the Pacers' defense, but also made a great contribution to the Cavaliers' winning the game!
On the other hand, on the Side of the Pacers, the team collapsed in the final quarter of this game, and was finally reversed, and the performance of the game that swallowed 5 consecutive defeats was obviously disappointing to the home fans.
But rationally speaking, for the Pacers, this game, the team is not completely without highlights.
After all, as the team's four new signings, the performance of Hield + Halliburton + Tristan + Jaylen Smith in this game is indeed remarkable!
Among these four new signings, as a potential young player who is only 21 years old, the play of Halliburton in this game is indeed eye-catching!
Harry Burton was stunning, starting 39 minutes, shooting four three-pointers on 9-of-15 shooting, a game-high 23 points, plus 3 rebounds, 6 assists and 3 steals.
Although it failed to help the Pacers guard the home court, there is one thing to say, Halliburton's outstanding performance in this game has indeed brought great pressure and trouble to the Cavaliers!
For the Pacers, although the team has suffered 5 consecutive defeats, the cultivation value and development ceiling shown by Halliburton are indeed a big gain for the Pacers who are in the rebuilding period!
