The East's top seed is on the brink of elimination. The Indiana Pacers blew out the Cleveland Cavaliers, 129-109, in Sunday's Game 4 to take a 3-1 lead in the second-round playoff series. The Cavs won 64 games in the regular season but are now one loss away from going home.

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 Cavs' Donovan Mitchell scored 12 points in the first half of Game 4, but did not start the second half with the Pacers leading.
