IN was down by as many as 18 points but kept clawing their way back into the game before ultimately losing by 3 points.

Some of us to go a favorite restaurant, a landmark, listen to a song or talk to someone to help us reconnect with who we think we are. We really wanted to go home 2-0 but we got one on the road.
Game 3 of the series is in IN on Friday.
“We can’t wait”, Collison said.
Game 1 was forgettable for LeBron James and Co., as they were held to 80 points on 38.5 percent shooting from the field and 23.5 percent shooting from 3-point range. In game one Love scored only nine points, all coming from behind the three-point line.
“Ty Lue says that Kevin Love is good to play in Game 3”. He had another solid night in game 2, scoring 22 points and collecting 6 assists.
Will Lue stick with the same starting group? But Nate McMillan-a bonafide Coach of the Year candidate in a year that Brad Stevens doesn’t lead a squad of 20 year olds and 2nd unit goobers to a 2 seed-again effectively utilized timeouts to stymie the Cavaliers’ momentum as best he could, and he managed to put out lineups compatible with Oladipo’s foul trouble that remained competitive and kept in in the game.
Rockets point guard Chris Paul led Houston to a dominant 102-82 Game 2 win over the Timberwolves by scoring a game-high 27 points with eight assists.
The result at least gave the Cavaliers hope as they head to Indianapolis for Game Three today. “But we ran the same first play until they stopped it”.
LeBron James came out firing putting up 20 of his 46 points in the first quarter.
“We blew a coverage and we were lucky and I’d rather be on time, on target than to be lucky”, James said. If the Pacers aren’t exactly now favorites to win the series, they’re very much in it, which is a minor surprise. Even though LeBron had one of the best playoff games of his career, there was a clear path to a win for Indiana. LeBron looked for the block but Oladipo’s feathery shot was simply untouchable. By the end of the first quarter, he took 12 shots – he has never taken more in an opening period. He made some contested 3s. Butler was 4-of-11 and finished with 13 points, but the Wolves are going to need more from him Wednesday to even the series. Center Kevin Love had 15, but hurt his left hand again, which might be affecting his form in the remaining games. Lue and Love said they expect Love to be fine for Friday’s game.

Indiana’s lightning-quick guard picked up an offensive foul and then got his second when he knocked over James, who was setting a screen. Korver joined the trio on the 2017 team, which reached the finals. But, yeah, the lineup we had (Wednesday night) worked. We know for sure what the Pacers can do, and it’s serious stuff. You get idea; this bear-poking scenario has played out many times since the advent of the 2-2-1-1-1 format.
