When the game ended, the Pacers were 120–119 winners and the Cavaliers were wondering where precisely things had gone wrong. Hampered by an inability to inbound the basketball, Cleveland surrendered a go-ahead three-pointer to Indiana guard Tyrese Haliburton with one second to go.

Indiana took a 2-0 series lead over top-seeded Cleveland after Haliburton drained a three-pointer to cap a late comeback.
