Sure, the #Pacers lost to the #Cavs. Losing is not the surprise. It’s that we were close starting Slawson, Big Jam, Ethan, Kobe & Q. Oh, and our bench was Obi, Jay, Kam & Taelon. Mitchell & Harden played massive minutes! No Limit, Strus & Keon got runs! 1st round exit for CLE. #TankCers #NBAsky

#Cavs 🔥
Another lackadaisical performance from the #Cavs against a tanking team as they had to rally from a 12 point deficit. They’re giving fans less and less of a reason to think they can flip the switch soon when the playoffs start.
FINAL: #Cavs 117, Pacers 108.
END 3Q: Pacers 91, #Cavs 90
IND: Potter 19p, 10r, 4a. Toppin 19p, 8r, 2a, stl. Slawson 16p, 4r, 2a, stl. Jackson 13p, 4r, 4a, 2stl.
CLE: Mitchell 26p, 6r, 6a, stl. Harden 21p, 6a, 3r, 3stl. Bryant 12p, 7r, 1a, blk. Ellis 11p, 4r.
#Cavs trail the Pacers 91-90 after three quarters. They've not defended well enough -- mostly because they've sent the Pacers to the free throw line 27 times through three quarters. Some of that is an inability to stay in front on the perimeter and some of it is the lack of size.
Max Strus is clutching his left hand after getting tied up with Micah Potter in the post. He's heading back to the #Cavs locker room.
END 1Q: Pacers 32, #Cavs 31
IND: Potter 8p, 2r, 2a. Slawson 9p, 1r, 1a. Jackson 5p, 3a, stl. Peter 5p.
CLE: Mitchell 11p, 5r, 2a, stl. Harden 6p, 2r, 1a. Strus 4p, 1r, 1a.
Ball is up. #Cavs and Pacers are underway here at Rocket Arena.
Starters:
Pacers - Jackson, Thompson, Slawson, Brown, Potter
#Cavs - Harden, Mitchell, Strus, Ellis, Bryant

#Cavs have half the team on “injury management” rest tomorrow
The #Cavs don’t have the Splash Brothers. But their system might be as dangerous.
Max Strus + Sam Merrill = movement, gravity, chaos.
Add James Harden & you get a championship blueprint. And former champs know it

#Cavs beat the Golden State Warriors 118-111 in a game that was closer than it should have been. Cavs had too many turnovers but found enough good offense late to pull away. Donovan Mitchell had 25 points, Max Strus hit six 3s on his way to 24 and James Harden had 19.
God I love having Max Strus back.
#CAVS
#Cavs gotta play through the gimmick. Getting out of control just like that.
Credit to Donovan Mitchell for his level of care on the defensive end tonight. Although, on April 2, that should be the bare minimum for all of the #Cavs.
#Cavs lead the Warriors 84-80 through three quarters. Think it's been a pretty inconsistent performance so far. Don't think they've defended poorly, but they've really struggled to take care of the basketball and some of the lineups just really don't fit together.
There’s no point in helping on Kristaps Porzingis at the nail because he’s not moving from his spot. Warriors are getting high screen switches with the #Cavs and he’s just being patient by shooting over the top. Two on the ball shorter than KP doesn’t change that…
I'm tapping out. Big #GuardsBall #CLEopener tomorrow. Finish strong, #Cavs and #LetEmKnow!
LET'S GO #GUARDIANS!!!
#Cavs have either waited too long or telegraphed some of their initial passes. They’ve defended well for the most part, but have kept the Warriors in this.
#Cavs lead the Warriors 54-47 at halftime. Felt like they had an opportunity to take a big lead to half but turned the ball over a few times in the last couple of minutes and gave Golden State a bit of life. They've done well defensively in half court settings, though.
#Cavs lead the Warriors 30-26 after the first quarter. Thought they did a really good job defensively but didn't do a good enough job rebounding for the score to reflect that. Warriors have seven 2nd chance points so far.
