129 points: It's the third-most points scored in a playoff game by the Pacers in the NBA playoffs. They scored 130 vs. the Knicks last season and vs. Boston in 1991. The franchise record is 150 vs. the Oakland Oaks in 1969.

The Pacers entered halftime with a 41-point lead, having absolutely dominated during the opening two quarters on their home court at Gainbridge Fieldhouse. It was nothing short of a shellacking, as Indiana more than doubled the total points scored by the Cavs in the first half, 80–39.

The Cavaliers are aiming to return to Cleveland tied with the Indiana Pacers in the Eastern Conference semifinals. In a virtual must-win scenario, the Cavs prevailed 126-104 in Game 3, narrowing their deficit to 2-1 in the best-of-seven,
