The strength gap is huge and one-sided! The first in the Eastern Conference is behind 1-3, becoming the largest pseudo-strong team in the league

On May 12, the NBA playoffs continued, with the Cavaliers, the number one in the East, challenging the Pacers away. In the last game, they successfully won a away game, and their momentum was pretty good. Unexpectedly, they were directly suppressed by the Pacers this time, and then they widened the score gap, falling behind by as much as 41 points in the first half, and they also lost suspense in advance in the second half. In the end, the Cavaliers lost to the Pacers 109-129 and fell behind 1-3 in a big score.

The big score is beyond everyone's expectations. After all, after this series was confirmed, the outside world is generally optimistic that the Cavaliers can easily advance. Judging from the overall strength of the two sides, there is indeed a huge gap. The Cavaliers have the upper hand, especially after a 4-0 sweep in the first round, the outside world also believes that they have the opportunity to attack the defending champion Celtics, and have not placed the Pacers in the ranks of competitors at all.

, but surprisingly, there was a sudden one-sided situation in this group of series, and the Pacers completely suppressed the Cavaliers. In the first two away games, the Pacers directly scored two consecutive games, leading 2-0 in a big score, directly confusing the Cavaliers, the number one in the East. Back at home, the G3 Pacers failed to continue their momentum and were easily defeated by the Cavaliers. Just when the outside world thought the Cavaliers had recovered their form, they were directly beaten by the Pacers again.

In this game, the Pacers did not give the Cavaliers any chance. They defeated the opponent on both ends of offense and defense. They directly took a huge lead of 80-39 in the first half, directly defeating the opponent's psychological defense line. Fortunately, the Pacers did not continue to output in the second half, which also allowed the Cavaliers to successfully narrow the gap to avoid losing too ugly. But in addition to losing, the Cavaliers also have bad news, that is, Mitchell suffered an injury and was accidentally injured during halftime training. It is also unknown whether he can return in the next game.

With the big score behind 1-3, the Cavaliers' prospects are no longer optimistic. Although they have completed a big reversal of 1-3 behind, this time they are not LeBron James. Nowadays, the Cavaliers are no longer optimistic and are likely to be eliminated early. Once eliminated, they are basically the largest pseudo-strong team in the league. You know, the Cavaliers achieved an excellent record of 64 wins and 18 losses in the regular season. Unexpectedly, they were eliminated in the second round of the playoffs, which was indeed a bit bleak.
