Key matchups

During the previous season, the Cavaliers emerged victorious in the regular season series against the Pacers, concluding with a 3-1 lead. Notably, Indiana has been unable to secure a season series triumph over Cleveland since the 2020-21 season. Fans can mark their calendars for the anticipated final showdown between the two teams, scheduled for March 18.

Meanwhile, Pacers’ esteemed head coach, Rick Carlisle, remains on the cusp of achieving a significant milestone, requiring only two more wins to reach an impressive tally of 900 victories throughout his illustrious NBA career.

In another notable feat, Buddy Hield stands just five 3-pointers away from surpassing Dale Ellis to claim the 28th spot for the most 3-pointers made by a player in the history of the NBA. Currently, Hield’s successful three-pointers tally stands at 1,715.
