How Well Do the Indiana Pacers Matchup With the Cleveland Cavaliers?
By William Furr
The Indiana Pacers and Cleveland Cavaliers meet in the first round of the playoffs. How well do both teams stack up against each other position by position?
It took all 82 games to secure it, but the Indiana Pacers did scrape into the playoffs on the back of a 5 game winning streak.
Their reward for the final game win over the Atlanta Hawks is the 7th seed in the Eastern Conference, and a matchup with the 2nd seeded Cleveland Cavaliers.
Facing off with LeBron James, who hasn’t lost game in the first round since 2012(!!!), might not feel like too much of a reward for the Pacers, but Paul George and the Pacers have always played LeBron as tough as anyone outside of Kawhi Leonard. We’re going to take a look at the matchups and see how the teams stack up.
