Pacers vs. Cavaliers, 2017 NBA playoffs: Start time, TV schedule, and live stream for Game 2

After an exciting Game 1 that ended with 109-108 Cleveland Cavaliers victory, the Indiana Pacers will look to answer back in Game 2 at Quicken Loans Arena on TNT.

Cleveland once led by 10 in the fourth quarter, but Indiana battled back. Indiana’s Paul George and Lance Stephenson kept the Pacers competitive by knocking down contested shots. In fact, Pacers point guard Jeff Teague knocked down a three-pointer to give the Pacers a 105-103 lead with a little over three minutes remaining in the game.

Cleveland later regained the lead, 109-105, with over a minute remaining. With 45 seconds left, J.R. Smith committed a turnover, and Indiana had a chance to go for a two-for-one opportunity. So, Indiana inbounded the ball, and George connected from beyond the arc to slice the Cavaliers’ lead to 109-108.

After George’s big-time shot, LeBron James tried to answer back with a three-pointer of his own but missed with 20 seconds left. Stephenson corralled the rebound, giving his team a chance to win the game with one last shot.

Indeed, George is the Pacers’ go-to option to score points, so the team decided to let him attempt the last shot. But Cleveland had other plans. Instead of letting George shoot the ball, the Cavaliers double-teamed him, forcing him to pass the ball to guard C.J. Miles to attempt the game-winning shot. Unfortunately for Indiana, Miles missed the jump shot, and Cleveland took a 1-0 lead in the seven-game series.

James scored a game-high 32 points and snagged six rebounds to go along with 13 assists. Kyrie Irving chipped in with 23 points. For Indiana, George racked up 29 points, and Stephenson added 16.

Game 2 should be an exciting game between these two teams. The Cavaliers have to do a better job of converting free throws. They shot 51.9 percent from the charity stripe in Game 1. As for the Pacers, they need to stop committing turnovers. They turned over the ball 13 times, and Cleveland scored 19 points off those turnovers.

Game 2 should leave you on the edge of your seat. Both teams can score at ease. But this game may come down to who can hit the big-time shots.
