NBA playoffs continue, the Pacers and Cavaliers G4 game has ended, and the final result has been seen. To be honest, this score gap is somewhat unexpected; the Cavaliers once led by more than 40 points in the game. Although they prompted to narrow the score gap in the second half, they still lost the game. The Pacers won the series 3:1 and had already entered the gate of the division final with half of their feet. This game is another typical Pacers-style winning method. Complete victory! Pacers 3-1 Cavaliers, who is the key to winning? Comprehensive suppression on both offense and defense. After the competition started, the Pacers were the first to enter the state, and they established a leading score early in the game. The Cavaliers tried to hold on to the score with their performance, but the Pacers made consecutive hits from the outside quickly widened the gap to 15 points. In the second quarter, the Pacers were still able to continue their state. The score difference was widened at many points, the Cavaliers' offense stagnated, and the Pacers seized the opportunity of various irons and mistakes. After a small climax, the score difference had reached 40 points; at the end of the first half, the Cavaliers' team only scored 39 points. Mitchell, the star of the world, scored at a maximum of 12 points, but you can imagine how bad the Cavaliers' offense is.

In the second half, the two sides were in a tug-of-war, and the scores rose alternately. During the stalemate, the Cavaliers' offense rebounded. They had a small climax and narrowed the gap to 30 points. The Pacers briefly adjusted and hit the inside and scored one after another to stabilize the situation. At the end of the three quarters, they still maintained a 32-point lead. In the final quarter, the Cavaliers did not send out their main players, and the Pacers also gave the rotation players the opportunity. They played steadily, maintained their advantages, and finally won the victory, easily defeated the Cavaliers with a big score, and took the lead 3:1 in the series to get the match point.

The Cavaliers' performance was not ideal in this game. From the beginning of the game, they fell into the Pacers' rhythm on both offense and defense; they had no feel at all in the half game. In particular, they made only 5 of 19 from outside the three-point line, while the Pacers made 12 of 18 shots. The Cavaliers were at a disadvantage in all assists of 2:25. In the second half, Mitchell withdrew from the game due to injury, the team narrowed the gap to 30 points under Garland's leadership, but they fell too much, and the team lost the game in the end. Garland made 6 of 11 shots in this game and scored 21 points and 6 assists. It seemed that the data was good, but the condition recovered too late. The performance of other core players of the team is not ideal.

For the Cavaliers, the strength of this game is unacceptable. They have suffered a crushing defeat and are already on the verge of being eliminated. After four games, you can see that the Pacers are on the side that occupy the rhythm of the game most of the time, and it is difficult for the Cavaliers to find a way to restrict the Pacers.

Pacers played a game where the team had multiple points; Halliburton usually scored 3 of 8 shots, 11 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists, but other players of the team stood up, and three of them got 20+ data. Siakam, the starting lineup, made 9 of 10 shots, scored 21 points and 6 rebounds with an efficient shooting percentage, Turner scored 7 of 13 shots, and scored 20 points and 7 rebounds; Toppen on the bench made 9 of 14 shots, also efficiently scored 20 points and 5 rebounds, and as many as 7 players in the team scored in double digits. While the players performed well on the offensive end, the team's overall defense also provided key help for them to win. Their excellent defense restricted the Cavaliers from making frequent mistakes, using errors to score 25 points more than their opponents, and scoring 30 points more inside points than their opponents, which is also the Pacers' way of winning.

series led the score 3:1, and the Pacers have already won the match point. One of the key factors that affect the trend of this series is Mitchell's injury. Next, we will return to the Cavaliers' home court. Let's wait and see if they can change their decline. What do you think the final score of this series will be?
