The Pacers also have their first lead in the playoffs since Game 3 of a first-round matchup against Cleveland in 2018. Indiana hasn’t won a series since reaching the 2014 Eastern Conference finals. Damian Lillard added 28 points and eight assists, most coming after he hurt his left knee in the first quarter and then aggravating an achilles tendon injury late in the fourth quarter.
It was a wild finish in front of a festive crowed decked out in gold T-shirts for Indiana’s first home playoff game since 21 April 2019 – and with many local favorites in attendance. The crowd included Indiana Fever newcomer Caitlin Clark, former Colts coach Tony Dungy, former Pacers forward Derrick McKey and current Colts players Anthony Richardson, Kenny Moore II and EJ Speed.
