Indiana Pacers v Cleveland Cavaliers - Game Two
Oladipo got into foul trouble

One of the major reasons why the Pacers were unable to start off well was the fact that Oladipo picked up 2 early fouls and had to go to the bench for most of the first quarter. He picked up a 3rd midway into the 2nd and had to again head to the bench for the remainder of the first half.

Lance Stephenson was also in similar trouble, picking up an offensive foul as well as a couple of questionable defensive foul calls. He also sat out much of the first half.

On the Cavaliers' end, George Hill was in foul trouble in the first half, and he sat down with 3 fouls halfway through the second quarter. He picked up two more in the third to go back to the bench, before fouling out in the 4th quarter with less than a minute of game time left.
