The Indiana Pacers defeated the Cleveland Cavaliers 114-105 on Tuesday, winning the series 4-1 and officially moving on to the Eastern Conference Finals. This time when the Pacers advanced to the next round, Tyrese Haliburton's dad, John Haliburton wasn't in attendance for the game.

"I'm sorry that their season had to end like this," Rick Carlisle said after his fourth-seeded Pacers eliminated Cleveland despite the Cavs' 64 wins and Coach of the Year honors.

For the second straight season, the Cleveland Cavaliers have failed to advance past the second round of the Eastern Conference Playoffs. And this time around, it's hard to label it as anything other than an abject failure.

Indiana blew out the Cavaliers, 129-109, in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference semifinals to take a commanding 3-1 series lead.

Tyrese Haliburton scored 31 points, Pascal Siakam added 21 and the Indiana Pacers advanced to the Eastern Conference Finals with a 114-105 victory over Cleveland, eliminating the top-seeded Cavaliers in five games.

The fourth-seeded Pacers booked their return to the Eastern Conference Finals with Tuesday night’s 114-105 victory over the top-seeded Cleveland Cavaliers, wrapping up a stunning series victory in only five games. Haliburton led the way with 31 points on 10-of-15 shooting, including 6-of-10 on 3-pointers, along with eight assists and six rebounds.

It doesn't seem like LeBron James is one of the NBA players who thinks Indiana Pacers star Tyrese Haliburton is overrated.

Donovan Mitchell missed the second half of the Cleveland Cavaliers 129-109 Game 4 loss to the Indiana Pacers after what the team announced as a left ankle injury. It was a gut punch to what was an embarrassing loss for the top-seeded Cavaliers.
