Indiana Pacers put up a ruthless third-quarter display to complete a 19-point comeback win over Cleveland Cavaliers in Game 5 of their NBA Playoff series, with Tyrese Haliburton scoring 31 points in a 114-105 win that gives the Pacers a 4-1 series win and a place in the Eastern Conference finals.
Donovan Mitchell led scoring on Tuesday night in Ohio with 35 points for the Cavs, despite playing with a sprained ankle and sore calf which forced him off in Game 4 of the series, while Evan Mobley added 24 points and 11 rebounds in a valiant effort for the home side.
It is the second successive season Pacers will compete in the Conference Finals after losing to Boston Celtics last season.
