KEY GAME INFORMATION
CLEVELAND: BACKCOURT: PG Kyrie Irving became an instant legend with his Finals-winning shot in Game 7 last year. While he didn't lack for confidence before, that added status will benefit a player who needs to play different roles at different times. SG J.R. Smith, too, is viewed through a new lens now that he's a champion. Smith came up huge for the Cavs in last year's Finals and hasn't put on a shirt since. SG Iman Shumpert really needs to improve his shooting. . . . FRONTCOURT: Basic knowledge of the human body tells us that SF LeBron James has to slow down sometime, but he's shown few actual signs of doing so. Continuing to rest him in the regular season would be very wise of coach Tyronn Lue. It's easy to forget how bad things got with PF Kevin Love last year, but we'll see if his defense on Steph Curry really did heal the situation. When it counts, C Tristan Thompson performs his low-post role to perfection. . . . BOTTOM LINE: With a full offseason as head coach of strategizing under his belt, Lue should be able to create a monster out of a group that few remember seemed lost at times last year. But don't be surprised if James sees more rest than ever.
INDIANA: BACKCOURT: Swapping in PG Jeff Teague for George Hill at point guard is an offensive upgrade, considering Teague's 40% mark from three last year. SG Monta Ellis looked something close to washed up last year, but apparently put in serious work this offseason. SG Rodney Stuckey, his backup, will look to bounce back after a season in which he was heavily affected by injury. . . . FRONTCOURT: SF Paul George is as good of a centerpiece as any franchise could hope for, and there's a high ceiling on any team he's part of. PF Thad Young didn't get much attention in Brooklyn (or Philly before that), but will remind many of his ability now that he's back on a playoff team. C Myles Turner is one of the league's most exciting big men and is still only 20. C Al Jefferson should fit well as a post scorer off the bench. . . . BOTTOM LINE: It's hard to know what to expect out of a completely revamped Pacers squad. If new head coach Nate McMillan can fit the pieces together, there's more than enough talent for this team to land in the East's top four.
PREVIEW
Pacers attempt to avoid sweep by Cavaliers
 

Paul George was driving to the lane and scoring at will. Lance Stephenson was hitting his 3-pointers and barking. Myles Turner was posterizing center Tristan Thompson.

Bankers Life Fieldhouse was rocking Thursday night. The Indiana Pacers led 74-49 at halftime and were on their way to climbing back into their Eastern Conference first-round series against the Cleveland Cavaliers.

About an hour later, LeBron James and Cleveland had torn the hearts out of the Pacers and their fans, having completed the largest comeback in NBA playoff history.

With two of the Big 3 on the bench for the entire fourth quarter, James led a bunch of "cerebral players" as the Cavs beat the Pacers 119-114 to take a commanding 3-0 lead in the series.

Game 4 is Sunday at Bankers Life Fieldhouse in Indianapolis and the Pacers will be fighting for their playoff lives, knowing they let one get away. Indiana has never been swept in a seven-game playoff series.

"There are three things in life," coach Nate McMillan said. "You can give in. You can give up or you can give it all you got. I expect us to give it all we can."

The Pacers played that way in the first half Thursday as they set a team record for points scored in a half with 74. But the second half was a different story.

"We came out in the second half with a 25-point lead and had a chance to put our foot on their throat," said George, who tallied 36 points as well as 15 rebounds and nine assists. "Instead, we came out relaxed and just allowed them to step into wide-open 3-pointers."

James finished with 41 points, 13 rebounds and 12 assists. Kyrie Irving and Kevin Love did not play in the fourth quarter -- not one second.

Coach Tyronn Lue went with a group of veterans who understood where they needed to be on offense and were willing to play lock-down defense. Iman Shumpert didn't score, but he harassed George enough where the Pacers star finished the game 10 of 28.

"Our bench definitely got the game ball tonight," James told the Cleveland Plain Dealer after the game. "Channing (Frye), Shump (Iman Shumpert), D-Will (Deron Williams), Kyle (Korver), those guys came in and gave us huge minutes. We needed everything from them."

With that group on the floor, the Cavaliers shot 62 percent from the floor and outscored the Pacers 35-23 in the fourth quarter.

"They were awesome," Irving said of the bench group that helped finish the game. "They had us going crazy on the bench."

Frye especially was deadly, scoring 11 points in the fourth quarter and finishing with 13 points, four rebounds, two steals and one block in 20 minutes.

While Cleveland took Friday off, the hangover from Thursday's loss permeated a quiet Indiana practice on Friday.

"It's weighing on me today," George said. "It will weigh on me tomorrow, probably up until Sunday."

McMillan said his team was "(ticked) off ... that we allowed that game to get away, which we should be."

"We had control of that game and you need to learn a lesson from that game," the coach added. "It's a 48-minute game and you have to come out with even more urgency in that third quarter to put this team away."

The Pacers' approach to Sunday's game is simple: win or go home.

"We've got one on our floor," George said. "We've got to treat it as our Game 7 and we've got to look at this series as four Game 7s. We've got to do it one game at a time."

Indiana players believe they can come back and win.

"No doubt," Myles Turner said, "if we have any pride at all."
