    Let us now see some highlights from the game!
    ...
    In the end, it was always Indiana's game from the beginning. They made the Cavs trail them throughout and despite losing their rhythm in early fourth-quarter, the young guns rallied back to secure an 18-point win. 
    ...
    Oladipo ends the night with 32 points from 11 of 19 shooting. He had 4 steals on the night as well, continuing from his regular season exploits.
    ...
    Victor Oladipo was certainly the best player on the court tonight. The Indiana University graduate is paying dividends for the state's premier basketball team!
    ...
    20th career NBA Playoffs triple-double for The King but he still concedes an 18-point loss? Hmm. 
    ...
    ...
    This is LeBron James' first ever loss in game 1 of the first round of the NBA Playoffs! DIGEST THAT, LeBron fans!
    ...
    IT'S OVER! Indiana Pacers stun the Cleveland Cavaliers at the Quicken Loans Arena 98-80!!!
    ...
    We've got a little over a minute of garbage time left now.
    ...
    Thaddeus Young goes for a fancy dunk but is fouled in the process.
    ...
    Plenty of Cleveland fans heading towards the exits already. Can you really blame them though?
    ...
    32 for Oladipo now!
    ...
    He converts a reverse layup now. He makes another 3-pointer after a Cavs miss!
    ...
    Oladipo misses a long 3-point shot.
    ...
    Myles Turner with the BLOCK on Larry Nance Jr.! No easy buckets on his watch!
    ...
    Rodney Hood with another catch and shoot 3!
    ...
    SABONIS WITH THE POSTER ON KEVIN LOVE! The crowd goes quiet.
    ...
    STAT UPDATE: LeBron James has a .873 win record in the first round of the NBA Playoffs. 
    ...
    James is fouled yet again and he will shoot two free-throws. He makes the both. 
    ...
    Hood makes a 17-footer.
    ...
    LeBron James is TRIPLE-TEAMED and is fouled by Indiana. Speaks volumes about the man.
