Pacers down 58-56 at the half in Cleveland. Another good half for the Pacers, considering who they have available. Sykes is finding a groove with this team.
Enjoying watching new pieces fit with established ones. That said, Duane Washington shouldn’t shoot 11 times in a half. – 7:05 PM

Cavs leading 58-56 at halftime getting 14pts from Mobley.
Keifer Sykes started at PG and was productive: 7pts, 3rebs, 1ast and 1stl. Pacers made 10 3s, but Cavs shot 50%.
Thing I liked most: Pacers bench was up, vocal and cheering guys on. – 7:04 PM

#Cavs Evan Mobley has an early eight points and two rebounds with 5:44 left in the first quarter, shooting 4-of-6 from the field. He’s going to work in the paint, capping it off with that dunk.

With three additions, Pacers have EIGHT players in the health and safety protocols. There were none five days ago; that’s how fast it spreads.
They’re severely lacking in the backcourt with Caris LeVert joining the list.
So, 12 guys available tonight in Cleveland (6pm ET). – 4:39 PM
