Bennedict Mathurin's ejection for a flagrant foul early in Game 4 did not hinder the Indiana Pacers, who established a 41-point halftime lead against the Cleveland Cavaliers, ultimately winning 129-109. The victory puts the Pacers ahead 3-1 in the Eastern Conference semifinals, as the Cavaliers struggled without Donovan Mitchell in the second half due to injury. Mathurin was previously involved in another altercation in the playoffs, and the team aims to close out the series in Game 5.
I had a lot of questions about it, the Pacers coach said. I saw one still shot where it looked he had his hand flat, you know? But they had a lot of different views. Whatever happened, happened.
Even without one of their top scorers, the Pacers tied an NBA playoff record by taking a 41-point half-time lead and rolled past the Cavaliers 129-109 to take a 3-1 lead.
