The Cleveland Cavaliers absolutely melted down in their second-round series against the Indiana Pacers and now face a long offseason with a roster currently projected to rise above the second apron.

Tyrese Haliburton of the Indiana Pacers has some ideas if his father, John Haliburton, is allowed to return to games.

Indiana closed out a dominant series against the top-seeded Cavaliers in Game 5. "It’s a special feeling," Tyrese Haliburton said.

Tyrese Haliburton scored 31 points, Pascal Siakam added 21 and the Indiana Pacers advanced to the Eastern Conference Finals with a 114-105 victory over Cleveland, eliminating the top-seeded Cavaliers in five games.

The Pacers are back in the Eastern Conference finals for a second year in a row. Here's a step-by-step construction of Indiana's roster.

As D-West highlighted, the Pacers were a much bigger team than the Heat, who used to play without a natural center during their title runs. "The 17-foot Assassin" and 7'2 Roy Hibbert outweighed everyone by at least 20 pounds, so they had to do what they had to do.

The Pacers are back in the Eastern Conference finals, finishing off the Cavaliers with a 114-105 Game 5 win. Indiana is the only team to make the conference finals as a No. 4 seed or worse in consecutive years since the 1984 playoffs expansion.
