The Pacers were way off with their offense in the early minutes of the game, converting just 1 of their first 6 shot attempts. Late in the first quarter, however, they started to find their rhythm on offense, mainly due to some great interior offense by Myles Turner.

After a couple of botched possessions and terrible missed shots, Lance Stephenson, Bogdan Bogdanovic and Collison too joined in the act. Victor Oladipo watched on from the bench, having picked up two early fouls.

Early in the 2nd quarter, the Pacers were able to reduce the deficit to just 4 points, before Oladipo went to the bench again with a 3rd foul while closing out on a Kevin Love 3-point shot fake in transition.

LeBron came back into the game and helped guide the Cavs to a 58-46 halftime lead, throwing down a couple of thunderous slams en route.
