Indiana Pacers Lead Eastern Semifinals 3-1 After Historic Game 4 Win Over Cleveland

The Indiana Pacers dominated the Cleveland Cavaliers 129-109 in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference semifinals, taking a commanding 3-1 lead in the series and moving one win away from the Conference Finals. The Pacers built a historic 41-point halftime lead, tying the largest halftime margin in NBA playoff history, fueled by a balanced offensive attack with seven players scoring in double digits. Pascal Siakam led Indiana with an efficient 21 points on 90% shooting, along with six rebounds and three assists, becoming the first Pacers player since 1999 to score 20 or more points with such shooting efficiency in a playoff game. Myles Turner and Obi Toppin each added 20 points, with Turner going a perfect 4-for-4 from three-point range, while T.J. McConnell contributed 13 points and eight assists. Cleveland struggled with turnovers and injuries, including losing Donovan Mitchell in the second half, and despite contributions from Darius Garland and Isaac Okoro, they could not keep pace with Indiana's relentless offense. The Pacers will aim to close out the series in Game 5 on the road to secure a spot in the Eastern Conference Finals.
