Tyrese Haliburton scored 31 points, Pascal Siakam added 21 and the Indiana Pacers advanced to the Eastern Conference Finals with a 114-105 victory over Cleveland, eliminating the top-seeded Cavaliers in five games.

On Tuesday night, the Indiana Pacers closed out the No. 1 seeded Cleveland Cavaliers. In Game 5, the Pacers faced adversity, but were able to pull off another comeback and advance to the Eastern Conference Finals for the second straight season.

As D-West highlighted, the Pacers were a much bigger team than the Heat, who used to play without a natural center during their title runs. "The 17-foot Assassin" and 7'2 Roy Hibbert outweighed everyone by at least 20 pounds, so they had to do what they had to do.

Stephenson has a number of former NBA teammates currently playing in the Big3. Kemba Walker is on the Triplets, Gerald Green is on the Rig Hands, Jordan Crawford is on the Riot, and Mario Chalmers is on the 305 alongside Michael Beasley.

Pacers getting national respect after taking down Cavs in just five game: 'This is a 1-seed and now they’ve taken the mantle from the 1-seed.'

The Pacers are back in the Eastern Conference finals, finishing off the Cavaliers with a 114-105 Game 5 win. Indiana is the only team to make the conference finals as a No. 4 seed or worse in consecutive years since the 1984 playoffs expansion.
