The Cleveland Cavaliers bounced back with a 104-100 win against the Indiana Pacers to tie the series at two. This one wasn’t pretty, but the end result is all that matters in the playoffs.

The Cleveland Cavaliers started out strong again, going into the half with a ten-point lead. But, just like Game 3, the Cavs blew the lead in the second half. Unlike Game 3, a role player stepped up to help LeBron James carry the team to victory.

Kyle Korver was that role player to step up for Cleveland Sunday night. He led both teams in second half scoring with 16 points on four of five shooting from distance. His two threes down the stretch clinched the game for Cleveland.

LeBron was the best player on the floor once again. He finished the game with 32, 13 boards, and seven assists.

The Cavs responded well to the first real adversity of the season. Here’s what we learned from the win.
