Pacers Look to Punch Ticket to East Finals

Kevin Kelley
The Indiana Pacers are just one win away from their first trip to the Eastern Conference Finals in over a decade. Indiana leads Cleveland 3-1 and can seal the deal in Game 5 tonight at 7 p.m. on the road.
After a historic 129-109 blowout win in Game 4 where they scored 80 first-half points, the Pacers are surging. Pascal Siakam led the effort with 21 points, while Tyrese Haliburton, Myles Turner, and Obi Toppin all made key contributions. Donovan Mitchell is listed as a game-time decision for the Cavs after an ankle aggravation.
