You can’t be serious. If you are resting 3 all stars and a starter plus giving your other starter rest and benching your best player of the bench in the second half of course you are going to lose.

Who said anything about injuries 😂? And who is making excuses? The Pacers should be mid-key embarrassed that they barely won an important late season game at home with the Cavs sitting their starters and benching Jerome and Hunter in fourth.

Last year they couldn’t win vs low record team. 30-16 vs the west. 4th best team out of 32 teams in the nba in 2025. They are growing and learning!

For all the pacers fans out there,
Congrats on the win and clinching home court advantage! Y’all beat the best team in the east! You beat the Cleveland cava- cough.. (charge) by 2 points. Pacers will win in the playoffs against the Cavs because they won 1 game in Cleveland! We as fans like to push narratives..cough cough (Bronny James is nba player) stuff that is clearly not true. Looking forward towards the playoffs! GO PACERS🎉
Cavs 🧹
