The Pacers rained down 19-of-36 shots from beyond the arc to create a 30-point advantage over the Cavaliers on 3-point shots in Game 1.

Andrew Nembhard was the leading scorer for Indiana with 23 points, but everyone did their part. Haliburton had 22 points with 13 assists, Myles Turner had three steals and two blocks, and Bennedict Mathurin came off the bench and contributed 11 points on 3-5 shooting from three.

"The Pacers didn't steal Game 1. They earned it. Very, very impressive performance to take home court from the top-seeded Cavs. Similar to how they played in Game 7 in New York last year in the ECSF," The Athletic's David Aldridge posted.
